Cotton - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]

Oh my family grew cotton and cotton[00:00:04]

Was all we knew[00:00:11]

Butter came from butter beans and it all[00:00:14]

Went in a stew[00:00:19]

We lived off our victory garden and the[00:00:23]

Neighbors did so too[00:00:27]

Some years the dust was so ruthless this[00:00:31]

Cotton was all we grew[00:00:36]

When there's no more cane on the grasses[00:00:40]

And the oil is gone in the gulf[00:00:44]

When the wells are dry on the flatlands[00:00:49]

Cotton's all we got cotton's all we got[00:00:54]

In the days before the power lines[00:01:04]

When L B J taught school[00:01:09]

We dreamed of a fairer nation and[00:01:13]

Promised to change the rules[00:01:17]

To build a great society and all the folks[00:01:22]

In the same room[00:01:28]

Fighting a war on poverty and taking us to the moon[00:01:30]

When there's no more cane on the grasses[00:01:39]

And the oil is gone in the gulf[00:01:43]

When the wells run dry on the flatlands[00:01:47]

Cotton's all we got oh cotton's all we got[00:01:52]

Then the wind will feed the power lines[00:02:17]

Where once it was dust that blew[00:02:22]

All along the Chisholm Trail where[00:02:26]

Cotton's all we knew[00:02:31]

When there's no more cane on the grasses[00:02:34]

And the oil is gone in the gulf[00:02:39]

When the wells are dry on the flatlands[00:02:43]

Cotton's all we got oh cotton's all we got[00:02:48]

Cotton's all we got[00:02:57]
