A E G D

My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43,

A E

When I was just a child in momma's arms.

A E G D

My daddy plowed the ground and promised someday we would leave

A E A

This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm.

E D A

Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma

B7 E

That he'd finally saved enough to go.

A E G D

California was his dream, a paradise, for he had seen

A E A

Pictures in magazines that told him so.

A D E

California Cottonfields,

D E D A

Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams.

A D E

California Cottonfields,

D E A

As close to wealth as daddy ever came.
