Chords for I never picked cotton Roy Clark with Lyrics.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I never picked cotton
_ _ _ But my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and my daddy died young _
_ Working in a coal mine _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ When I was just a [D#m] baby
[F#] Too little for a cotton [D#m] sack
I played in the dirt while the [F#] others worked
Till they couldn't straighten up their backs
And I made myself a promise
[D#m] When [F#] I was big enough to run
That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun
And I [E] never picked cotton
But _ my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and my daddy died young
_ Working in a coal mine
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
Folks said I grew up early
And that the farm couldn't hold me then
[D#m] [F#] So I stole ten bucks in a pickup truck
And I never went back again
Then it [G] 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
[E] But I never picked cotton _ _ _
But my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and my daddy died young
_ _ Working in a coal mine _ _
_ [F#] _ _ It was Saturday night in Memphis
When a redneck grabbed my shirt
And we said go back to your cotton sack
Or let them dine in the dirt
And they'll [G] take me in the morning
To the gallows just outside
And in the time I've got there ain't a hell of a lot
That [E] I can look [G] back on with pride
But [E] I never picked cotton _
_ _ Like my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and I never died young
_ Working in a coal mine
_ But _ I never picked cotton _ _ _ _ _ _
