I Never Picked Cotton 가사

I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine When I was just a baby Too little for a cotton sack I played in the dirt While the others worked 'Til they couldn't straighten up their backs I made myself a promise When I was big enough to run That I'd never stay a single day In that Oklahoma sun I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine Folks said I grew up early And that the farm couldn't hold me then so I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck And I never went back again Then it was fast cars and whiskey Long haired girls and fun I had everything that money could bring And I took it all with a gun I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine It was Saturday night in Memphis When a redneck grabbed my shirt When he said "Go back to your cotton sack" I left him dying in the dirt They'll take me in the morning To the gallos just outside And in the time I got There ain't a hell of a lot That I can look back on with pride I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine
