I got cotton in the bottom land |
| [00:03.57] |
It's up and growin' and i got a good stand |
| [00:07.86] |
My good wife and them kids of mine |
| [00:11.46] |
Gonna get new shoes come pickin' time |
| [00:15.06] |
Get new shoes come pickin' time |
| [00:19.65] |
Every night when i go to bed |
| [00:22.53] |
I thank the lord that my kids are fed |
| [00:25.53] |
They live on beans eight days and nine |
| [00:29.79] |
But i get 'em fat come pickin' time |
| [00:33.30] |
Get 'em fat come come pickin' time |
| [00:37.62] |
The corn is yellow and the beans are high |
| [00:40.68] |
The sun is hot in the summer sky |
| [00:43.83] |
The work is hard till layin' by |
| [00:46.50] |
Layin' by till pickin' time |
| [00:51.63] |
Layin' by till pickin' time |
| [00:56.10] |
It's hard to see by the coal-oil light |
| [00:59.22] |
And i turn it off purty early at night |
| [01:02.28] |
'cause a jug of coal-oil costs a dime |
| [01:06.57] |
But i stay up late come pickin' time |
| [01:10.08] |
Stay up late come pickin' time |
| [01:14.82] |
My old wagon barely gets me to town |
| [01:17.79] |
I patched the wheels and i watered 'em down |
| [01:21.00] |
Keep her in shape so she'll be fine |
| [01:23.58] |
To haul my cotton come pickin' time |
| [01:28.14] |
Haul my cotton come pickin' time |
| [01:33.99] |
Last sunday mornin' when they passed the hat |
| [01:38.07] |
It was still nearly empty back where i sat |
| [01:41.94] |
But the preacher smiled and said that's fine |
| [01:45.69] |
The lord'll wait till pickin' time |
| [01:49.89] |
The lord'll wait till pickin' time |
