High Cotton lyrics translation: ALABAMA High Cotton song texte and letras ALABAMA High Cotton tab, paroles and testo ALABAMA High Cotton Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
We didn`t know that 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.
