[00:02.41] Gonna get what's mine
[00:03.73]
[00:06.59] And wild horses couldn't keep it from me
[00:10.20]
[00:13.99] Papa says I'm a golden child
[00:16.62]
[00:19.28] And the whole world's gonna fall at my feet
[00:23.79]
[00:28.08] It's all comin' to me
[00:29.64]
[00:35.68] Going down pickin' when it's harvest time
[00:38.60] Gonna get my share, gonna get what's mine
[00:41.66]
[00:42.74] For me
[00:43.38]
[00:48.72] Sun is a-blazin' down, but I don't mind
[00:51.35] I'm pickin', I'm diggin', it's
[00:53.97] Harvest time for me
[00:55.89]
[00:58.20] When I get my little eye on it
[01:01.60] When I get my little mind on it
[01:04.25] You best believe
[01:05.00]
[01:11.02] Oh, sweet tooth think in my hair
[01:13.85] Gonna fill my belly to the brim
[01:16.35] Oh, yes, indeed
[01:18.14]
[01:23.90] Hive is a-buzzin' in a hollow tree
[01:26.60] And I don't care if I gotta kill a little honey bee
[01:30.25]
[01:33.15] 'Cause when I get my little eye on it
[01:36.44] And when I get my little mind on it
[01:39.00] You best believe
[01:40.13]
[01:43.58] Oh, my
[01:44.55]
[01:45.07] My, my, my
[01:46.16]
[01:47.94] It's all comin' to me
[01:49.24]
[01:57.45] Gonna get what's mine
[01:59.06]
[02:01.60] And wild horses couldn't keep it from me
[02:05.15]
[02:09.10] Papa says I'm a golden child
[02:11.90]
[02:14.13] And the whole world's gonna fall at my feet
[02:18.41]
[02:23.15] All comin' to me
[02:24.44]
[02:30.65] Poppin' and a-suckin' 'til the well is dry
[02:33.65] Nobody's boomin' in these busted times
[02:37.23] Like me
[02:37.84]
[02:43.23] Down in Texas where the cattle don't roam
[02:46.26] Oil is a-drippin' and the savings and loan
[02:48.96] They bleed
[02:49.64]
[02:52.69] When I get my little eye on it
[02:55.57] When I get my little mind on it
[02:58.51] You best believe
[02:59.20]
[03:03.01] Oh, my
[03:03.70]
[03:04.27] My, my, my
[03:05.26]
[03:07.26] It's all comin' to me
[03:08.49]
[03:13.48] It's all comin' to me
[03:14.89]
[03:21.41] Papa came along and he shook the tree
[03:23.94]
[03:27.89] Down came a pusher letmet for me
[03:30.54]
[03:34.35] Papa shooed away all the honey bee
[03:36.90]
[03:43.98] Papa dug a well and it flow for me
[03:47.55]
[03:53.70] Papa cut the mother lao fish for me
[03:56.39]
[04:00.10] Papa set a fire and it burned for me
[04:02.75]
[04:06.54] Papa put a skillet in the flame to fry
[04:09.11]
[04:09.79] Papa filled this little silver spoon of mine
[04:12.20]
[04:14.72] Papa said the Lord took a shine to me
[04:17.09]
[04:21.05] Papa said I gotta set the whole world free
[04:23.45]
[04:24.32] Whole world free, whole world free
[04:27.37]
[04:31.43] Oo, papa said
[04:33.54]
[04:38.42] I was gonna be...
[04:39.79]
