DUST IN THE LANE. AKA- "Cotton Pickin' Time." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Arkansas. A Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCD. The lyrics below were collected by Thede from her source, sung to the third strain.
Betcha forty dollars I can pick a bale o' cotton,
Betcha more than that I can pick it in a year;
For me an' my farmer's friend
Can pick more cotton than a gin can gin.
