[F#]
When I was just a baby, too [C#] little for a cotton [F#] sack,
I [B] played in the dirt [F#] while the others worked,
Till the [B] kittens straightened up [C#] their backs,
And I made myself a promise when I [G#] was big enough [F#] to run,
[B] I'd never stay a single day in that [C#] Oklahoma sun,
But [B] I never picked [D#] [D#m] cotton,
[F#] But my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did,
And my daddy died young, working in the coal mines,
Folks said I grew up early, [C#] and the farm couldn't hold me [F#] then,
So [B] I stole ten [F#] bucks in a pickup truck, and never went back [C#] again,
It was fast cars and whiskey, [C#] long hair [F#] girls and fun,
I hid everything money could bring, I took it all with a gun,
[G#] But [B] I never picked [D#m] cotton,
But [F#] my mother did, and my brother [B] did, and my sister [F#] did,
And my daddy died young, working in the coal mines,
[G#] [D#m]
[C#] [D#]
[F#]
Well it was Saturday night in Memphis, [G#] when a redneck grabbed [F#] my shirt,
[B] When he said go [F#] back to your cotton sack, I left him [D#m] dying there in the [C#] dirt,
And they'll take me in the morning to the gallows just [F#] outside,
[B] And in the time I got there [F#] ain't a hell of a lot, [B] I can look back [C#] on with [G#]
pride,
[C#] But [B] I never picked [D#m] [F#] cotton,
[B] But my mother [A#m] did, and my brother did, and my sister [F#] did,
[B] And my daddy [F#]
died young, working in the coal mines,
[G#] [F#] Yeah, my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did,
And my daddy [C#] died young, working in the coal [F#] mines,
But I [B] never [D#m] picked cotton.
