HIGH COTTON Recorded by ALABAMA Words and music by Scott Anders and Roger Murrah [] We didn't know the times were lean A-[] Round our home 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 think I understand. Refrain: [P] We Were Walkin' in [] High Cotton Old times [] there are not forgotten Those [] fertile fields are never far a-[] way [P] We Were Walkin' in [] High Cotton Old times [] there are not forgotten Leavin' [] home was the hardest [] thing we ever [] 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 : Refrain: We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.
