[Verse]
AWagon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound
When mDe and little Tommy rode the first load in the toAwn
The coDtton gin was ginning out the pennies for the poAunds
Like a giEant vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the grAound
[Chorus]
AOur freckled faces sparkled then like diaEmonds in the roAugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and gEood old Garett snAuff
If I coDuld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the leAan
When Jesus was our SaEviour and cotton was our kAing
[Verse]
AThis kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen
Seems sDome of us was born for picking things and eaten beAans
Still I rDeckon girl or diggin' fairly well in our meAans
Cause Jesus was our SavEiour and cotton was our kiAng
[Chorus]
AOur freckled faces sparkled then like diaEmonds in the roAugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and gEood old Garett snAuff
If I coDuld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the leAan
When Jesus was our SavEiour and cotton was our kAing
[Chorus]
AOur freckled faces sparkled then like diaEmonds in the roAugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and gEood old Garett snAuff
If I coDuld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the leAan
