Verse 1
D
40 acres of ground,
A
everybody around grows lower 40
You can always make a couple bales
D
to the acre on lower 40
The cotton grows tall and
the grass does too
G
The work is hard and the profits are few

To pay the taxes when they come due
D
Down on Lower 40

the tax was overdue

On Lower 40
We would have to pay or else move away

They were gonna send a revenue man

Or get that land called Lower 40
The tax man came just after
A
the rain to Lower 40
Pa said he'd shoot
D
if he put one boot on Lower 40
He said this land belongs to me,

I pay for it once and the title is free
A
If you don't leave it,
then there's gonna be
D
trouble on Lower Forty
The tax man frowned and put his
A
boot down on Lower Forty
Pa started shootin'

but he didn't hit nothin' but Lower 40
The sheriff came, took him away

Now we've got the tax
and he's bailed the pay
A
We had to do it, there's no other way
D
But mortgage old Lower 40
A
