California Cotton Fields - Greg Graffin[00:00:00]
My driftin' memory goes back[00:00:00]
To the spring of forty two[00:00:02]
When I was just a child in[00:00:04]
Momma's arms[00:00:06]
My daddy plowed the fields and[00:00:08]
Prayed and did all he could[00:00:09]
Do to save that broke down[00:00:11]
Oklahoma farm[00:00:13]
Well one night I heard my[00:00:16]
Daddy sayin' to my momma[00:00:18]
That he finally saved enough for us to go[00:00:20]
California was his dream[00:00:24]
A paradise that he had seen[00:00:25]
The pictures and the magazines[00:00:27]
Had told him so[00:00:29]
California cotton fields[00:00:32]
Where labor camps were filled[00:00:35]
With worried men and broken dreams[00:00:37]
California cotton fields[00:00:41]
Was as close to wealth as[00:00:44]
Daddy ever came almost everything[00:00:45]
We owned was sold or left behind[00:00:49]
From daddy's tools to the fruit[00:00:52]
That momma canned some folks came to say[00:00:54]
Farewell and see what all we had to sell[00:00:57]
Some just came to shake my[00:01:00]
Daddy's hand the model t was loaded down[00:01:01]
And California bound and the dream[00:01:05]
Of hope was just four days away[00:01:08]
But the only change that I remember seeing[00:01:11]
In my daddy was when his brown[00:01:14]
Hair turned to silver grey[00:01:16]
California cotton fields[00:01:19]
Where labor camps were filled with worried[00:01:23]
Men and broken dreams[00:01:25]
California cotton fields[00:01:28]
Was as close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:01:32]
California cotton fields[00:01:52]
Where labor camps were filled with worried[00:01:56]
Men and broken dreams[00:01:58]
California cotton fields[00:02:01]
Was as close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:04]
Was as close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:08]
Was as close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:12]
