High Cotton — текст песни (Alabama)





We didn`t know the times were lean
Round our house the grass was green
It didn`t seem like things were all that bad

I bet we walked a thousand miles
Chopin` cotton and pushin` plows
And learnin` how to give it all we had

As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddy`s eyes
And felt the love in mama`s hands

They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin` back I understand.

Chorus:
We were walkin` in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We were walkin` in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin` home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

When Sunday mornings rolled around
We dressed up in hand-me downs
Just in time together with the church
Sometimes I think how long it`s been
And how it impressed me then
It was the only day my daddy wouldn`t work.

Chorus x3

We were walkin` in high cotton
