The Frozen Four-Hundred-Pound Fair-to-Middlin' Cotton Picker - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

I left the field one evening [00:00:05]

My fingers so cold and sore[00:00:09]

From fair to middlin' cotton [00:00:13]

Three hundred pounds or more[00:00:17]

Jim McCann was still pickin' straddle in the row[00:00:22]

The sun began to sinkin' and the wind began to blow[00:00:30]

He was bound to get four hundred [00:00:38]

A draggin' a twelve foot sack[00:00:42]

I hollered out "Jim come weight it"[00:00:46]

But I only saw his back[00:00:51]

So I went on home to supper[00:00:55]

And I gathered around my kin[00:00:59]

I was thinkin' of Jim out there pickin' [00:01:03]

With winter settin' in[00:01:07]

Next morning the air was freezin' [00:01:16]

The snow was nine feet deep[00:01:20]

I jerked on my long red handles[00:01:24]

And I left my kids asleep[00:01:28]

I got myself a shovel[00:01:33]

And went to where I seen Jim go[00:01:37]

And commenced to a diggin' for him[00:01:41]

At the other end of his row[00:01:45]

I found his body frozen and I took him in to thaw[00:01:49]

I dragged in his sack and I weighed it[00:01:58]

And I added Jim's marks that I saw[00:02:02]

The total was over four hundred[00:02:06]

So he'd picked more than he'd bet[00:02:10]

Of fair to middlin' cotton but Jim ain't thawed out yet[00:02:14]
