I never picked cotton
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#] others worked
[D#m] When [F#] I was big enough to run
day in that Oklahoma sun
But my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and my daddy died young
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#] others worked
[D#m] When [F#] I was big enough to run
day in that Oklahoma sun
But my mother did and my brother did and my sister did and my daddy died young

_ _ _ _ _ _ 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 _ _ _ _ _ _
