Raisin' Cotton (from "Texas Cotton" soundtrack)

Raisin' Cotton (from "Texas Cotton" soundtrack)

Cows are in the corn
The feeds all rotten
A new day is born
An ol' one forgotten
The Lord and his plans
Many times I fought 'em
Raising cotton, cotton, cotton

For forty long years, I sweat
And I toiled
In the sun I've been seared
Like to wither or boil
I may well have faired better
Drilling for oil
Raisin cotton, cotton, cotton

Boll weevils in the field
Got me down trodden
Raised hell on my yields
Nearing rock bottom
Neighbors helping hand
Lord knows I wished I'd sought 'em
Raising cotton, cotton, cotton
Oh raising cotton, cotton, cotton
