High Cotton (Alabama)

		
 G  
We didn't know the times were lean 
 C  
Around our home the grass was green 
    G                                       D7  
It didn't seem like things were all that bad 
   G  
I bet we walked a thousand miles 
 C  
Chopping cotton and pushing plows 
     G                 D7               G  
And learning how to give it all we had 
  
As life went on and years went by 
 C  
I saw the light in daddy's eyes 
     G                         D7  
And felt the love in mama's hands 
 G  
They kept us warm and kept us fed 
 C  
Taught us how to look ahead 
     G                D7             G  
Now looking back I think I understand 
       
We Were Walking in High Cotton 
           C  
Old times there are not forgotten 
       G                               D7  
Those fertile fields are never far away 
                    G  
We were walking in high cotton 
           C  
Old times there are not forgotten 
         G                      D7              G  
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced 
  
When Sunday morning rolled around 
 C  
We dressed up in hand-me downs 
      G                           D7  
Just in time together with the church 
 G  
Sometimes I think how long it's been 
 C  
And how it impressed me then 
    G                     D7               G  
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work 
  
Repeat #3
