I Never Picked Cotton (Cash Johnny)

		
E  
Chorus I never picked cotton  
A E A E  
like my mother did and my brother did  
A E  
and my sister did  
A  
and my daddy died young  
E  
in a coal mine  
 
F  
1. When I was just a baby  
too little for the cotton sack  
I played in the dirt while the others worked  
til they couldn't straighten their backs  
F#  
and I made my self a promise  
when I was old enough to run  
that I'd never stay a single day  
in that Oaklahoma sun  
And I...  
Chorus  
F  
2. Folks said that I grew up early  
and the farm couldn't hold me then  
so I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck  
and I never went back again  
F#  
and it was fast cars and wiskey  
long legged girls and fun  
I had everything that money could bring  
and I took it all with a gun  
And I...  
Chorus  
 
F  
3. It was Saturday night in Memphis  
when a redneck grabbed my shirt  
and he said go back to your cotton sack  
I left him lyin in the dirt  
F#  
and they'll take me in the morning  
to the gallows just outside  
and in the time I've got their aint a hell of a lot  
I can look back on with pride  
But I...  
Chorus X2
