Harvest is not the Time to Shuck and Jive.

I miss the song from "Uncle Tom's Georgia Jungle Book"

The South is the place that welcomes you warm
And all the cabins throughout the farm
Plantations, Lamentations,
We see the Cotton grow
Thanks to the work of the humble Negro

Humble Negro, the plants are ready,
Humble Negro, keep your back steady,
What you pick keeps the plantation alive,
Harvest is not the Time to Shuck and Jive

There are cats and there are mouses
Running through the Master's houses
Plantations, Lamentations,
We see the Cotton grow
Thanks to the work of the humble Negro

Humble Negro, the plants are ready,
Humble Negro, keep your back steady,
What you pick keeps the plantation alive,
Harvest is not the Time to Shuck and Jive

Work hard and you stay alive
One hard-working nigger beats a lazy five
Cotton is our Lives' Flora
Keep on picking for the sweet Miss Laura

Then the dancing Disney crows and monkeys come in.

I am Laslo.
