Pickin' Time Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I got cotton in t[G]he bottom land
It's up and growin' [C]and
I got a good stand
My good wife [Em]and them [G]kids of mine
Gonna get new shoes,
come [C]pickin' [G]time
Get new shoes come [C]pickin' time

[Verse 2]
[C]Ev'ry night when [G]I go to bed
I thank the Lord that my [C]kids are fed
They live on beans [G]eight days and nine
But I get 'em fat come [C]pickin' [G]time
Get 'em fat come
[C]come pickin' time

[Verse 3]
[C]The corn is yellow and [G]the beans are high
The sun is hot in the [C]summer sky
The work is hard [G]til layin' by
Layin' by til [C]pickin' time
[G]Layin' by til [C]pickin' time

[Verse 4]
It's [C]hard to see by the [G]coal-oil light
light
And I turn it off purty [C]early at night
'Cause a jug of coal-oil
costs [G]costs a dime
But I stay up late come [C]pickin' time
[G]Stay up late come [C]pickin' time

[Verse 5]
[C]My old wagon [G]barely gets
me to town
I patched the wheels and I
[C]watered 'em down
Keep her in shape so [G]she'll be fine
To haul my cotton come [C]pickin' time
[G]Haul my cotton come [C]pickin' time

[Verse 6]
[C]Last Sunday mornin' when
[G]they passed the hat
It was still nearly empty back [C]where I sat
But the preacher smiled
[G]and said that's fine
The Lord'll wait [C]til pickin' time
The [G]Lord'll wait til [C]pickin' time
