Chorus  I never picked cotton
        A      E          A       E
like my mother did and my brother did
       A      E
and my sister did
                         A
and my daddy died young
          E
in a coal mine

        F
1.      When I was just a baby
too little for the cotton sack
I played in the dirt while the others worked
til they couldn't straighten their backs
F#
and I made my self a promise
when I was old enough to run
that I'd never stay a single day
in that Oaklahoma sun
And I...
Chorus
        F
2.      Folks said that I grew up early
and the farm couldn't hold me then
so I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck
and I never went back again
F#
and it was fast cars and wiskey
long legged girls and fun
I had everything that money could bring
and I took it all with a gun
And I...
Chorus

        F
3.      It was Saturday night in Memphis
when a redneck grabbed my shirt
and he said go back to your cotton sack
I left him lyin in the dirt
F#
and they'll take me in the morning
to the gallows just outside
and in the time I've got their aint a hell of a lot
I can look back on with pride
But I...
Chorus X2

My buddy Phill Park is back to play guitar for me on Johnny Cash's great 'I Never Picked Cotton'. You can find this song by Johnny Cash on his 1996 album 'Unchained', which is one of the finest albums I have ever heard, most highly recommended. Hope you enjoy. Comments please.

Another one that hit me blindside one afternoon. Per several requests, I'm trying to show the fingers and frets on this one.
