You Can't Pick Cotton - The Charlie Daniels Band[00:00:00]

Written by：C. Daniels/C. Hayward/J. Gavin/T. DiGregorio/T. Crain[00:00:02]

I will never forget the day the law come take my grandpa away[00:00:31]

The family lived on sugar hill making[00:00:35]

Making liquor in a moonshine still[00:00:37]

Uncle bill said grandpa you better run[00:00:39]

High sheriff is coming with a posse and a gun[00:00:41]

Grandpa didn't want to go to jail[00:00:44]

He took off a running down the Cumberland trail[00:00:45]

They said hey hey[00:00:47]

I better get my britches on the high sheriffs come[00:00:49]

And to take me to town[00:00:51]

Hey hey I better get a move on[00:00:52]

I better get a move on down[00:00:54]

You can't pick cotton if the fields ain't white[00:00:56]

You can't stay sober on a Saturday night[00:00:58]

You can't go courting if you get too old[00:01:00]

You can't go driving if the wheels won't roll[00:01:02]

Greenback money make the wheels go round[00:01:04]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:01:08]

Two weeks later he was back in town in a Cadillac car[00:01:33]

With the top rolled down[00:01:36]

Girls in the front girls in the back[00:01:37]

Whiskey in the jug and money in the sack[00:01:39]

Sitting in the backseat jumping like a frog[00:01:41]

Crazy like a possum putting on a dog[00:01:43]

New suit new hat twinkle in his eye[00:01:46]

Playing on his fiddle for the people passing by[00:01:48]

He said hey hey give me a drink of water[00:01:50]

The sun is getting hotter and I think I'm getting dry[00:01:52]

Hey hey doing what I ought ta now[00:01:54]

Telling you the reason why[00:01:56]

You can't pick cotton if the fields ain't white[00:01:58]

You can't stay sober on a Saturday night[00:02:00]

You can't go courting if you get too old[00:02:02]

You can't go driving if the wheels won't roll[00:02:05]

Greenback money make the wheels go round[00:02:07]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:02:09]

Greenback money make the wheels go round[00:02:11]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:02:17]

Do you remember a long time ago[00:02:53]

Devil worked a man named cotton eyed Joe[00:02:55]

Devil worked a man named cotton eyed Joe[00:02:57]

Down in the fields down below[00:02:59]

Everybody talking about cotton eyed Joe[00:03:01]

Everybody talking about cotton eyed Joe[00:03:03]

You can't pick cotton if the fields ain't white[00:03:09]

You can't stay sober on a Saturday night[00:03:11]

You can't go courting if you get too old[00:03:13]

You can't go driving if the wheels won't roll[00:03:15]

Greenback money make the wheels go round[00:03:17]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:03:19]

Greenback money make the wheels go round[00:03:21]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:03:23]

I'm gonna play my fiddle'til the sun goes down[00:03:44]
