(Spoken) I got cotton in the bottom land It`s up and growin` and I got a good stand My good wife and them kids of mine Gonna get new shoes, come Pickin` Time Get new shoes come Pickin` Time.
Ev`ry night when I go to bed I thank the Lord that my kids are fed They live on beans eight days and nine But I get `em fat come Pickin` Time Get `em fat come come Pickin` Time.
The corn is yellow and the beans are high The sun is hot in the summer sky The work is hard til layin` by Layin` by til Pickin` Time Layin` by til Pickin` Time.
It`s hard to see by the coal-oil light And I turn it off purty early at night `Cause a jug of coal-oil costs a dime But I stay up late come Pickin` Time Stay up late come Pickin` Time.
My old wagon barely gets me to town I patched the wheels and I watered `em down Keep her in shape so she`ll be fine To haul my cotton come Pickin` Time Haul my cotton come Pickin` Time.
Last Sunday mornin` when they passed the hat It was still nearly empty back where I sat But the preacher smiled and said that`s fine The Lord`ll wait til Pickin` Time The Lord`ll wait til Pickin` Time.
