W agon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound
When me and little Tommy rode the first load in the tow n
The cot ton gin was ginning out the pennies for the pou nds
Like a gia nt vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the gro und
O ur freckled faces sparkled then like diam onds in the rou gh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and go od old Garett snu ff
If I cou ld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lea n
When Jesus was our Sav iour and cotton was our ki ng
T his kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen
Seems so me of us was born for picking things and eaten bea ns
Still I re ckon girl or diggin' fairly well in our mea ns
Cause Jesus was our Savi our and cotton was our kin g
O ur freckled faces sparkled then like diam onds in the rou gh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and go od old Garett snu ff
If I cou ld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lea n
When Jesus was our Savi our and cotton was our ki ng
O ur freckled faces sparkled then like diam onds in the rou gh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and go od old Garett snu ff
If I cou ld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lea n
When Jesus was our Savi our and cotton was our ki ng
