Cotton Fields

Growing up in the cotton field Families worked the well-used ground Tilling the soil and planting the seed So a cotton crop could abound As the years pushed on forward More modern methods were found I can hear that machinery even now With the clanging banging sound Lives turned in different directions As kids grew up and left the family home But there’s still a little woefulness Kinda wanting to go back and roam It’s fun to look at old pictures Yes, it sure does you me back The machinery made things easier Than going down the row with a sack It’s so good for kids to have a job Whether picking cotton or mowing lawns ‘Cause when they look at pictures later It shows your roots and where you belong!
