Lyrics for I Never Picked Cotton by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | I Never Picked Cotton | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 69 | | | | Lyrics: | [Chorus:]
I never picked cotton
But my mother did
And my brother did
And my sister
did
And my daddy died young
Workin' in the coal mine
When I was just a baby
Too
little for a cotton sack
I played in the dirt
While the others worked
'Til they couldn't
straighten up their backs
I made myself a promise
When I was big enough to run
That I'd
never stay a single day
In that
Oklahoma sun
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
It was Saturday night in Memphis
When a redneck grabbed my
shirt
When he said go back to your cotton sack
I left him dying in the dirt
They'll take
me in the morning
To the gallos just outside
And in the time I got
There ain't a hell of
alot
That I can look back on with pride
