High Cotton

G
We didn't know the times were lean
C
Around our home the grass was green
   G                               
It didn't seem like things were all
      D7
 that bad
  G
I bet we walked a thousand miles
C
Chopping cotton and pushing plows
    G               D7             
And learning how to give it all we 
G
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    
Now looking back I think I 
       G
understand

We Were Walking in High Cotton
          C
Old times there are not forgotten
      G                            
Those fertile fields are never far 
 D7
away
                   G
We were walking in high cotton
          C
Old times there are not forgotten
        G                    D7   
Leaving home was the hardest thing
         G
 we ever faced

 When Sunday morning rolled around
C
We dressed up in hand-me downs
     G                        
Just in time together with the 
 D7
church
G
Sometimes I think how long it's been
C
And how it impressed me then
   G                   D7  
It was the only day my daddy 
           G
wouldn't work
