Beautiful White Gold

Down in the southern states there is A crop that is just like gold But there is a lot of preparation made To the soil first I have been told It’s not as easy as we think it is But we’re thankful there are those Who grow miles of cotton for products Such as material in which to make clothes Some farms have been dedicated for years And after the soil is ready Little cotton seeds go into the ground They work at that land pretty steady I have seen miles and miles of fields And love to see those cotton bolls I think about the old way to harvest That soft and beautiful white gold!
