California Cotton Fields (Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris[00:00:00]

My driftin' memory goes back[00:00:04]

To the spring of '43[00:00:07]

When I was just a child in[00:00:09]

Momma's arms[00:00:11]

My daddy plowed the ground[00:00:14]

And prayed someday he could leave[00:00:16]

This run-down[00:00:19]

Mortgaged Oklahoma farm[00:00:19]

And then one night[00:00:23]

I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma[00:00:25]

That he'd finally saved enough to go[00:00:28]

California was his dream [00:00:33]

A paradise for he had seen[00:00:35]

Pictures in magazines that told him so[00:00:38]

California cottonfields[00:00:43]

Where labor camps were filled[00:00:47]

With worried men with broken dreams[00:00:49]

California cottonfields[00:00:52]

As close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:00:56]

Almost everything[00:01:22]

We had was sold or left behind[00:01:23]

From my daddy's plow[00:01:26]

To the fruit that momma canned[00:01:27]

Some folks came to say farewell[00:01:31]

Or see what all we had to sell[00:01:33]

Some just came to shake my daddy's hand[00:01:36]

That model a was loaded down[00:01:40]

And California bound[00:01:42]

And a change of luck[00:01:45]

Was just four days away[00:01:46]

But the only change that[00:01:50]

I remember seein' for my daddy[00:01:51]

Was when[00:01:54]

His dark hair turned to silver gray[00:01:55]

California cottonfields[00:02:00]

Where labor camps were filled[00:02:03]

With worried men with broken dreams[00:02:05]

California cottonfields[00:02:09]

As close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:13]

California cottonfields[00:02:17]

Where labor camps were filled[00:02:22]

With worried men with broken dreams[00:02:24]

California cottonfields[00:02:27]

As close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:31]
