Chorus:
E7
I never picked cotton
A E7 A E7
like my mother did and my brother did
A E7
and my sister did
A
and my daddy died young
E7
in a coal mine

 F
When I was just a baby
too little for the cotton sack
I played in the dirt while the others worked
til they couldnʼt straighten their backs
    F#
and I made my self a promise
when I was old enough to run
that Iʼd never stay a single day
in that Oaklahoma sun
And I...

Chorus.

F
Folks said that I grew up early
and the farm couldnʼt hold me then
so I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck
and I never went back again
F#

and I took it all with a gun
And I...

Chorus.

F
It was Saturday night in Memphis
when a redneck grabbed my shirt
and he said go back to your cotton sack
I left him lyin in the dirt
   F#
and theyʼll take me in the morning
to the gallows just outside
and in the time Iʼve got their aint a hell of a lot
I can look back on with pride
But I...

Chorus. x2
