@baydough100 Poor whites were mistreated too! Exploitation hits every one. If you are in a sweatshop, or just selling the merchandise for minimum wage.
@ Trouble is your liberal education has been very selective in its 'colonia guilt' approach. You have been told only half the truth (if even that). You are still ignorant children. And until you start forgetting what you learned in school /college/university, and start learning and finding out things for yourself, Your generation will always be.
Ever heard of indentured servants? They picked sugar cane in the west Indies and cotton in the deep south. The idea was they could one day earn enough to pay their passage andn buy their freedom. But very few ever did. Most died. Many were also treated worse than blacks (who were considered very valuable assets hence were bettter fed ). Some Blacks were offered the same option of buying their freedom. Also look at the recent article and book about Victorian Britain's slave children .

Rockabilly is southern Rock N Roll and as a southerner it offensive to generalise us all as rednecks
Its like calling a black man a nigger it just aint right ;)

this really was a rubbish song just a parody of the horrors of cotton picking...
'Twenty Flight Rock' remains one of the greatest rock'n'roll songs ever ..sadly most
of Cochrans slow songs are almost unlistenable.
