Capo 3
C
C
On a Mississippi mornin’
F C
My dad yelled out a warnin’
G C
Son you better hit that cotton patch soon
And on my way on down the field
F C
As I passed Old Johnson’s Mill
G C
I saw Becky Morgan, skinny dippin’ nude.
C
Well I couldn’t help but stop and stare
F C
Hypnotized I stood right there
Enchanted by the beauty that I’d seen
Then she gave me a come here smile
F C
Nearly drove my body wild
G C
I fell down tryin’ to kick off my jeans.
Chorus:
C C/G
Well on that cotton pickin’ mornin’
F C
I met up with Beck Morgan
You know that day I didn’t get to work on time
C/G
And in the days of my December
F C
I know I will remember
G C
Sowin’ oats at Cotton Pickin’ Time.
C
Well I lost my job that summer
F C
But I guess I had it comin’
Cause that pickin’ cotton just wasn’t on my mind
But you don’t get too much money
F C
When you got a Tupelo honey
G C
Keepin’ you cool in the Mississippi hot sunshine.
Chorus:
C C/G
And every cotton pickin’ mornin’
F C
I met up with Becky Morgan
The whole dang I never got to work on time
C/G
And in the days of my December
F C
I know I will remember
G C
Sowin’ oats at Cotton Pickin’ Time.
C F C G C F C G C
C
We’ve come along way since then
Now I own that cotton gin
And I bought that mill
G C
Just to make her smile
And to keep our love from growin’ old
F C
We still go down there to that hole
G C
Skinny dip and Becky is just as wild.
Chorus:
C C/G
And every cotton pickin’ mornin’
F C
I wake up with Becky Morgan
And to this day I never got to work on time
C/G
And in the days of our December
F C
I know we’ll will remember
G C
Sowin’ oats at Cotton Pickin’ Time.
[2x]
G C
We were sowin’ oats at Cotton Pickin’ Time
G C
We were sowin’ oats at Cotton Pickin’ Time.
