I never picked cotton lyrics by Johnny cash

Album: Unchained


(chorus) 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 'til they couldn't straighten up their backs i made myself a promise when i was big enough to run that i'd never stay a single day in that oklahoma sun

(chorus) folks said i grew up early and that the farm couldn't hold me then so i stole ten bucks and a pickup truck and i never went back again then 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

(chorus) it was saturday night in memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt when he said go back to your cotton sack i left him dying in the dirt they'll take me in the morning to the gallos just outside and in the time i got there ain't a hell of alot that i can look back on with pride

(chorus)
