HIGH COTTON

Recorded by ALABAMA

Words and music by Scott Anders and Roger Murrah

[A] We didn't know the times were lean

A-[D] Round our home the grass was green

It [A] didn't seem like things were all that [E] bad

I [A] bet we walked a thousand miles

[D] Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows

And [A] learnin' how to [E] give it all we [A] 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 think I understand.

Refrain:

[P] We Were Walkin' in [A] High Cotton

Old times [D] there are not forgotten

Those [A] fertile fields are never far a-[E] way

[P] We Were Walkin' in [A] High Cotton

Old times [D] there are not forgotten

Leavin' [A] home was the hardest [E] thing we ever [A] faced.

When Sunday morning 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.

Refrain:

Change to B:

Refrain:

We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.
