I Never Picked Cotton

Dans le style de

Roy Clark

Paroles

i never picked cotton
but my mother did and
my brother did and
my sister did and
my daddy died young
workin' in a coal mine

when i was just a baby
too little for
a cotton sack
i played in the dirt
while the others
worked till they
couldn't straighten
up their backs

and i made myself
a promise
when i was
big enough to run
that i'd never stay
a single day
in that oklahoma sun

and i never
picked cotton
but my mother did and
my brother did and
my sister did and
my daddy died young
workin' in a coal mine

folks said
i grew up early
and that the farm
couldn't hold me then
so i stole ten bucks
and a pickup truck
and i never
went back again

then it was fast cars
and whiskey
long-haired girls
and fun
i had everything that
money could bring
and i took it all
with a gun

but i never
picked cotton
but my mother did and
my brother did and
my sister did and
my daddy died young
workin' in a coal mine

it was saturday night
in memphis when
a redneck grabbed
my shirt and
when he said go back
to your cotton sack
i left him dyin'
in the dirt

and they'll take me
in the mornin' to the
gallows just outside
and in the time i've got
there ain't
a hell of a lot that
i can look back on
with pride

but i never
picked cotton
like my mother did and
my brother did and
my sister did and
i'll never die young
workin' in a coal mine

but i never
picked cotton
like my mother did and
my brother did and
my sister did and
i'll never die young
workin' in a coal mine
