The field is my home where I work mighty hard
I stand in the shade of Heaven's reward
I'm happy and free, I've got a woman's love

She stands by my side through worry and care
Willin' to give, willin' to share
I'm happy and free I've got a woman's love

There's bread on our table and rest in our bed
And plenty of courage to face what's ahead
She gives me contenment when my day is done
Gave me a daughter, gave me a son

My cotton is white, there's gold in the grain
Got nothin' to lose and plenty to gain
I'm happy and free 'cause I've got a woman's love
