Pickin’ Time Lyrics by Grandpa Jones

Country Music Hall Of Fame Series: Grandpa Jones

0

[Verse 1]
I got cotton in the bottom land
Its up and its growing
And I've got a good stand
My good wife and them kids of mine
Gonna get new shoes come pickin' time
Get new shoes come pickin' time
[Verse 2]
Every night when I go to bed
I thank the lord that my kids are fed
They live on beans eight days or nine
But I'll get 'em fat come pickin' time
Get 'em fat come pickin' time
[Verse 3]
The corn is yella' and the beans are high
The sun is hot in the summer sky
The work is hard 'till layin' by
Layin' by 'till pickin' time
Layin' by 'till pickin' time
[Verse 4]
It's hard to see by the coal oil light
And I blow it out pretty early at night
A jug of coal oil cost a dime
But I'll stay up late come pickin' time
Stay up late come pickin' time
[Verse 5]
My old wagon barely gets me to town
I patched the wheels and I watered them down
Keep her in shape so she'll be fine
To haul my cotton come pickin' time
Haul my cotton come pickin' time
[Verse 6]
Last Sunday mornin' when they passed the hat
It was still nearly empty back where I sat
But the preacher smiled and he said "That's fine
The Lord will wait 'till pickin' time
The Lord will wait 'till pickin' time
