[B] In [E] a Mississippi cotton [B] picking delta town,
One dusty street, [E] two walked up and down,
Nothing much to see [A] but a starving hound,
[B] In a Mississippi cotton picking delta [E] town.
Down in the delta [B] where I was born,
All we raised was cotton, potatoes [E] and corn,
I picked cotton [A] till my fingers hurt,
[B] Dragging the sack through that delta
[E] dirt,
And I've worked hard [B] the whole week long,
Picking my fingers to [E] the blood and bone,
There ain't a lot of money [A] in a cotton bale,
[B] At least when you try [E] to sell.

Catch us a ride [E] on a pickup truck,

We'd sit across the street on [B] the deep old porch,
Looking at the folks [E] looking back at us,
Munching on a dust [A] covered ice cream cone,
[B] Wondering how we'd get [E] back home.
