Lyrics

Hey, Uncle Paul
Hey, boy, how's my baby?
I'm a big boy
You a big boy, that right
Sure is
Then grab that hoe and help me turn this earth
[Instrumental]
See how the ground pack hard and smooth?
You gotta broke it up
I know, you told me
When you broke the earth, you sayin' you the boss
You get to say what grow
The movement same like chopping wood
Strong leg, strong back, strong arms is all you need to turn the earth
Dark, rich, and ready to seed
What under need to come up and face the sun
Wet worms, black beetles, weeds and moss
But you the boss, you and that hoe
You gotta disturb the earth for thing to grow
It's my garden now
It's your garden now
You gotta disturb the earth for thing to grow
It's my garden now
It's your garden now
So I can grow
Look at me, look at me, I got muscles
I'm not a baby
I'm a big boy, Uncle
It's his garden now
That boy think he somethin', uh-huh
Think he shittin' in high cotton, sure enough
Like he walkin' on air and can't nothin' touch him, that right
Somethin' wrong with that boy
Get outta here
[Instrumental]
Feel that knot there?
That's your strength come in
Look at me, look at me, I got a muscle
I'm not a baby, Uncle
Come on, boy
[Instrumental]
Something wrong? What could it be?
Some fatal flaw that everyone could see?
Charles, baby, youngest of five
The neighborhood baby, sweet as pecan pie
Your only sin was to be born when love had spread itself thin
