[Verse 1]
We [C]didn't know the times were lean
[F]Round our house the grass was green
[C]It didn't seem like things were all that bad[G]
I [C]bet we walked a thousand miles
[F]Choppin' cotton and pusing plows
[C]And learnin' how to giv[G]e it all we had[C][G]

[Verse 2]
As [C]Life went on and years went by
[F]I saw the light in daddy's eye
[C]And felt the love in mamma's han[G]ds
They [C]kept us warm and kept us fed
[F]Taught us how to look ahead
[C]Now lookin' bac[G]k I understa[C]nd

[Chorus 1]
We were walkin' [C]in high cotton
Old times [F]there are not forgotten
Those [C]fertile fields are never far a[G]way
We were walkin' [C]in high cotton
Old times [F]there are not forgotten
Leavin' [C]home was the hardest [G]thing

[Verse 3]
When [C]Sunday mornings rolled around
[F]We dressed up hand-me-downs
[C]Just in time to gather with the [G]church
Some [C]times I think how long It's been
And [F]how it impressed me then
It was the [C]only day
my [G]daddy wouldn't [C]work

[Chorus 2]
We were walkin' [C]in high cotton
Old times [F]there are not forgotten
Those [C]fertile fields are never far a[G]way
We were walkin' [C]in high cotton
Old times [F]there are not forgotten
Leavin' [C]home was the hardest [G]thing
we ever [C]faced

We were walkin' [D]in high cotton
