Capo 3
[verse 1]
C majorC
On a Mississippi mornin'
FF C majorC
My dad yelled out a warnin'
G+G C majorC
Son you better hit that cotton patch soon
And on my way on down the field
FF C majorC
As I passed Old Johnson's Mill
G+G C majorC
I saw Becky Morgan, skinny dippin' nude.
C majorC
Well I couldn't help but stop and stare
FF C majorC
Hypnotized I stood right there
Enchanted by the beauty that I'd seen
Then she gave me a come here smile
FF C majorC
Nearly drove my body wild
G+G C majorC
I fell down tryin' to kick off my jeans.
[chorus]
C majorC C/GC/G
Well on that cotton pickin' mornin'
FF C majorC
I met up with Beck Morgan
You know that day I didn't get to work on time
C/GC/G
And in the days of my December
FF C majorC
I know I will remember
G+G C majorC
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
[verse 2]
C majorC
Well I lost my job that summer
FF C majorC
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
FF C majorC
When you got a Tupelo honey
G+G C majorC
Keepin' you cool in the Mississippi hot sunshine.
[chorus]
C majorC C/GC/G
And every cotton pickin' mornin'
FF C majorC
I met up with Becky Morgan
The whole dang I never got to work on time
C/GC/G
And in the days of my December
FF C majorC
I know I will remember
G+G C majorC
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.

[verse 3]
C majorC
We've come along way since then
Now I own that cotton gin
And I bought that mill
G+G C majorC
Just to make her smile
And to keep our love from growin' old
FF C majorC
We still go down there to that hole
G+G C majorC
Skinny dip and Becky is just as wild.
[chorus]
C majorC C/GC/G
And every cotton pickin' mornin'
FF C majorC
I wake up with Becky Morgan
And to this day I never got to work on time
C/GC/G
And in the days of our December
FF C majorC
I know we'll will remember
G+G C majorC
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
[2x]

We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time

We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
