High Cotton

In the style of

Alabama

Lyrics

yeah rockin' chair

we didn't know that
times were lean
around our house
the grass was green
it didn't seem like
things were
all that bad

i bet we walked
a thousand miles
choppin' cotton
and pushin' plows
and learnin' how
to give it all we had

as life went on
and years went by
i saw the light
in daddy's eyes
and felt the love
in mama's hands

they kept us warm
and kept us fed
and taught us how
to look ahead
now lookin' back
i understand

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
those fertile fields
are never far away

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
leavin' home was
the hardest thing
we ever faced

when sunday mornin's
rolled around
we dressed up
in hand-me-downs
just in time to gather
with the church

sometimes i think
how long it's been
and how it
impressed me then
it was the only day
my daddy
wouldn't work

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
those fertile fields
are never far away

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
leavin' home was
the hardest thing
we ever faced

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
those fertile fields
are never far away

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
leavin' home was
the hardest thing
we ever faced

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
those fertile fields
are never far away

we were walkin' in
high cotton
old times there
are not forgotten
leavin' home was
the hardest thing
we ever faced
walkin' in high cotton
