Song Lyrics
Chopin cotton and pushin plows, just in time
old times there are not forgotten
we were walkin in high cotton
we were walkin in high cotton
And felt the love in mama s hands, it was the only day my daddy wouldn t work, just in time
Just in time, we dressed up in hand-me downs, to gather with the church
those fertile fields are never far away
they kept us warm and kept us fed
And felt the love in mama s hands, when sunday mornings rolled around Alabama, it was the only day my daddy wouldn t work
Leavin home was the hardest thing we ever faced, now lookin back, i bet we walked a thousand miles
round our house the grass was green
Round our house the grass was green, we didn t know that times were lean
I bet we walked a thousand miles, it was the only day my daddy wouldn t work
Old times there are not forgotten, round our house the grass was green
We were walkin in high cotton, chopin cotton and pushin plows
as life went on and years went by
sometimes i think how long it s been
it didn t seem like things were all that bad
old times there are not forgotten
chopin cotton and pushin plows
I bet we walked a thousand miles, round our house the grass was green
leavin home was the hardest thing we ever faced
old times there are not forgotten
When sunday mornings rolled around, and learnin how to give it all we had
Round our house the grass was green, we were walkin in high cotton
We were walkin in high cotton, now lookin back Alabama, taught us how to look ahead
Round our house the grass was green, they kept us warm and kept us fed
And felt the love in mama s hands, chopin cotton and pushin plows Alabama, it didn t seem like things were all that bad
we were walkin in high cotton
Sometimes i think how long it s been, we dressed up in hand-me downs Cotton, just in time
We were walkin in high cotton, i understand, i saw the light in daddy s eyes
Just in time, i understand, we were walkin in high cotton
It was the only day my daddy wouldn t work, those fertile fields are never far away
And how it impressed me then, old times there are not forgotten
