| Lyrics |
I see a thousand milestones between the southland and me; I had to pass those milestones to get this misery. I'm like a fish out of water, I had no bus'ness to roam, I'm out of place (here in Harlem, in a big town,) That's why I want to go home. Chorus Cotton, give me a handful of Cotton, Take me tonight to those fields of snowy white, Along that muddy river shore. I'm lonesome for Cotton, I'd gladly pick all the Cotton, Just to get back to that old log cabin shack Among my kind of folks once more. I guess the Lord was partial to the southland, 'Cause he looked down and said, one morn "Somebody's got to pick that cotton" And that's just the reason I was born. Cotton, my heart's all wrapped up in Cotton, Lord I was wrong, take me back where I belong, I'll never leave the south anymore. |
