California Cottonfields - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]

My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43[00:00:15]

When I was just a child in momma's arms[00:00:21]

My daddy plowed the ground[00:00:26]

And prayed someday he could leave[00:00:28]

This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm[00:00:31]

And then one night[00:00:36]

I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma[00:00:38]

That he'd finally saved enough to go[00:00:42]

California was his dream [00:00:47]

A paradise for he had seen[00:00:49]

Pictures in magazines that told him so[00:00:52]

California cottonfields[00:00:58]

Where labor camps were filled[00:01:02]

With worried men with broken dreams[00:01:04]

California cottonfields[00:01:08]

As close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:01:13]

Almost everything we had was sold or left behind[00:01:34]

From my daddy's plow to the fruit that momma canned[00:01:39]

Some folks came to say farewell[00:01:44]

Or see what all we had to sell[00:01:47]

Some just came to shake my daddy's hand[00:01:50]

That model a was loaded down and California bound[00:01:55]

And a change of luck was just four days away[00:02:00]

But the only change[00:02:05]

That I remember seein' for my daddy[00:02:06]

Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray[00:02:10]

California cottonfields[00:02:16]

Where labor camps were filled[00:02:21]

With worried men with broken dreams[00:02:23]

California cottonfields[00:02:27]

As close to wealth as daddy ever came[00:02:31]
