Start with a walk down on the A string-543, then play the E string F note,then the 
A-string A# note followed by A # chord, follow this pattern with the F and the A# again.

Jump down, turn around to pick a bale of cotton/
                          F                  A#
Jump down, turn around to pick a bale a day./
Jump down, turn around to pick a bale of cotton/
                          F                  A#
Jump down, turn around to pick a bale a day./
D#        A#                     D#

Pick a bale a day./
D#        A#                     D#

Sorry about the way I worded the beginning, I didn't know how to do otherwise. I don't 
have a tab sheet.
