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 
    G
we had

G
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                    G
Taught us how to look ahead

Now looking back I understand

G
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   
Leaving home was the hardest thing
          G
 we ever faced

G
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
