What is your favorite band, and your favorite song they do?
Mine is High Cotton, by Alabama
We didn't know that time 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 choppin' cotton and pushing plows, and learnin' how to give it all we had
As life went on and years rolled by, I saw a light in daddy's eyes, and felt the love in mamma's hands, They kept us warm and kept us fed, and taught us how to look ahead, now lookin' back I understand
CHORUS
We were walkin' in High Cotton, old time are not forgotten, those burly fields are never far away. We were walkin' in High Cotton old times 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 to gather with the church, Some times I think how long its been, and how it impressed me then, It was the only day my Daddy wouldn't work.
CHORUS
We were walking in High Cotton, old times are not forgotten those burly fields are never far away, We were walking in High Cotton old times are not forgotten leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
We were walking in High Cotton old times are not forgotten those burly fields are never far away, We were walking in High Cotton old times are not forgotten, leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
Walking in High Cotton.
Song end
