I Never Picked Cotton - Roy Clark
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 till
They couldn't straighten their backs
And I made myself a promise
When I was big enough to run
That I'd never stay a single day in
That Oklahoma sun
And 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
Folks said I grew up early
And in the farm that couldn't hold me then
So I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck
And I never went back again
And it was fast cars and whiskey
Long haired girls and fun
I had everything that money
Could bring and
Took it all with a gun
But 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
It was saturday night in memphis
When a redneck grabbed my shirt
And when he said go back in your cotton sack
I let I'm dyin' in the dirt
They'd take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside
And in the time I've got
There ain't a hullava lot
That I can look back on with pride
But I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and I never died young
Workin' in the coal mine
But I never picked cotton
But my mother did and my brother did
And my sister did and I never died young
Workin' in the coal mine
