A
Wagon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound
D A
When me and little Tommy rode the first load in the town
D A
The cotton gin was ginning out the pennies for the pounds
E A
Like a giant vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the ground
[Chorus]
A E A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough
E A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff
D A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean
E A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king
[Verse]
A
This kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen
D A
Seems some of us was born for picking things and eaten beans
D A
Still I reckon girl or diggin' fairly well in our means
E A
Cause Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king
[Chorus]
A E A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough
E A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff
D A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean
E A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king
[Chorus]
A E A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough
E A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff
D A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean
E A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king
