Artist: Merle Haggard Album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976 (2007) Title: One Row at a Time
Lyrics One Row at a Time(Red Lane - Dottie West)
The southeast Georgia red clay dust is groundin' to my blue jeans A heavy hundred pound cotton sack a draggin' long behind Wanting to leave this place so bad, I forgot it how I got here Workin' my way back home one row at a time.
It's along old cotton road between here and Vaco Than three days of bummin' through that California line And two more days of pickin' to that house just south of Fresno Workin' my way back home one row at a time.
--- Instrumental ---
Mississippi delta mud is caked in layers of my brogains Sunshine on snow white cotton nearly makes me blind I can almost see 'em now a homefolk runnin' out to meet me Workin' my way back home one row at a time.
It's along old cotton road between here and Vaco Than three days of bummin' through that California line And two more days of pickin' to that house just south of Fresno Workin' my way back home one row at a time.
Workin' my way back home one row at a time... |
