CALIFORNIA COTTONFIELDS
As recorded by Emmylou Harris
(From the 1975 Album PIECES OF THE SKY - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK)
[Intro]
F G
[Verse 1]
G D F C
My drifiting memory goes back to the spring of 43
G D
When I was just a child in mama's arms
G D
My daddy plowed the ground and prayed
F C G D G
Someday we might leave this rundown mortgaged Oklahoma farm
[Verse 2]
D
And then one night I heard my daddy
C G A D
Saying to my mama that he'd finally saved enough to go
G D F
Californa was his dream of paradise
C G D G
Fore he had seen pictures in magazines that told him so
[Chorus]
C D C D
Californa cottonfields where labor camps are filled
C G
With worried men with broken dreams
C D C
Californa cottonfields as close to wealth
D F G
As daddy ever came
[Banjo & Dobro Solos]
G D F C G D
G D F C G
[Verse 3]
D F C
Well, almost everything we had was sold or left behind
G D
From my daddy's plow to the fruit that mama canned
G D F
And some folks came to say farewell and see what all
C G D G
We had to sell and some just came to shake my daddy's hand
