I Never Picked Cotton – Johnny Cash[00:00:01]

I never picked cotton[00:00:07]

But my mother did[00:00:11]

And my brother did[00:00:12]

And my sister did[00:00:13]

And my daddy died young[00:00:15]

Workin' in the coal mine[00:00:18]

When I was just a baby[00:00:23]

Too little for a cotton sack[00:00:26]

I played in the dirt While the others worked[00:00:29]

'Til they couldn't straighten up their backs[00:00:31]

I made myself a promise[00:00:34]

When I was big enough to run[00:00:36]

That I'd never stay a single day[00:00:39]

In that Oklahoma sun[00:00:42]

I never picked cotton[00:00:44]

But my mother did[00:00:48]

And my brother did[00:00:50]

And my sister did[00:00:51]

And my daddy died young[00:00:52]

Workin' in the coal mine[00:00:55]

Folks said I grew up early[00:01:01]

And that the farm couldn't hold me then[00:01:03]

So I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck[00:01:06]

And I never went back again[00:01:08]

Then it was fast cars and whiskey[00:01:11]

Long haired girls and fun[00:01:14]

I had everything that money could bring[00:01:16]

And I took it all with a gun[00:01:19]

I never picked cotton[00:01:22]

But my mother did[00:01:25]

And my brother did[00:01:27]

And my sister did[00:01:28]

And my daddy died young[00:01:30]

Workin' in the coal mine[00:01:32]

It was Saturday night in Memphis[00:01:38]

When a redneck grabbed my shirt[00:01:41]

When he said go back to your cotton sack I left him dying in the dirt[00:01:43]

They'll take me in the morning[00:01:48]

To the gallos just outside[00:01:51]

And in the time I got There ain't a hell of alot[00:01:53]

That I can look back on with pride[00:01:56]

I never picked cotton[00:01:59]

But my mother did[00:02:02]

And my brother did[00:02:04]

And my sister did[00:02:05]

And my daddy died young[00:02:06]

Workin' in the coal mine[00:02:09]

I never picked cotton[00:02:12]

But my mother did[00:02:16]

And my brother did[00:02:18]

And my sister did[00:02:19]

And my daddy died young[00:02:20]

Workin' in the coal mine[00:02:23]
