We didn`t know the times were lean Round our house the grass was green It didn`t seem like things were all that bad
I bet we walked a thousand miles Chopin` cotton and pushin` plows And learnin` how to give it all we had
As life went on and years went by I saw the light in daddy`s eyes And felt the love in mama`s hands
They kept us warm and kept us fed Taught us how to look ahead Now lookin` back I understand.
Chorus: We were walkin` in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Those fertile fields are never far away We were walkin` in high cotton Old times there are not forgotten Leavin` home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
When Sunday mornings rolled around We dressed up in hand-me downs Just in time together with the church Sometimes I think how long it`s been And how it impressed me then It was the only day my daddy wouldn`t work.
Chorus x3
We were walkin` in high cotton
