I've been breakin' my back for the central trust I pray god sees favor for the likes of us
But that don't mean nothin' to someone in need
Kill my brother over a filthy weed
Black Patch, black patch, fire in the hole
Black patch, black patch, rollin' smoke
Black patch, black patch, unravelin' time
I'd die for the black patch, out of my mind
Under the blue moon, through the hills I do ride
For that dark-cured tobacco, in it's name I'm baptized You can chew it, you can spit it, you can hang it up to dry But to take what's mine I'd like to see you try
Black Patch, black patch, fire in the hole
Black patch, black patch, rollin' smoke
Black patch, black patch, unravelin' time
I'd die for the black patch, out of my mind
I worked my whole life for them boys overseas
But they never cared much for the likes of me
Lost all my crops, lost my family
Kill my brother over a filthy weed
Black Patch, black patch, fire in the hole
Black patch, black patch, rollin' smoke
Black patch, black patch, unravelin' time
I'd die for the black patch, out of my mind (2x)
