High Cotton by AlabamaKey: FF | Capo: 0fr | |F We didn't know the times were lean Bb Round our home the grass was green F C7 It didn't seem like things were all that bad F I bet we walked a thousand miles Bb Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows F C7 F And learnin' how to give it all we had. F As life went on and years went by Bb I saw the light in daddy's eyes F C7 And felt the love in mama's hands F They kept us warm and kept us fed Bb Taught us how to look ahead F C7 F Now lookin' back, I understand. Refrain : F We were Walkin' in High Cotton Bb Old times there are not forgotten F C7 Those fertile fields are never far a- way F We were Walkin' in High Cotton Bb Old times there are not forgotten F C7 F Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced. F When Sunday morning rolled around Bb We dressed up in hand-me downs F C7 Just in time, together with the church F Sometimes I think how long it's been Bb And how it impressed me then F C7 F It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.
