honeymoon feelin' - roy clark lyrics
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 till they
couldn’t straighten their backs
and i made myself a promise when i was big enough to
run
that i’d never stay a single day in that oklahoma sun.
and 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 in the farm that
couldn’t hold me then
so i stole ten bucks and a pickup truck and i never
went back again
and 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.
but 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 sat-rday night in memphis when a redneck grabbed
my shirt
and when he said go back in your cotton sack i let ‘im
dyin’ in the dirt
they’d take me in the mornin’ to the gallows just
outside
and in the time i’ve got there ain’t a hullava lot that
i can look back on with pride.
but 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.
but 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…
