Cotton

Oh, my family grew cotton and cotton was all we knew

Butter came from butter beans and it all went in a stew

We lived off our victory garden and the neighbors did so too

Some years the dust was so ruthless, this cotton was all we grew

When there's no more cane on the grasses

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When the wells are dry on the flatlands

Cotton's all we got, cotton's all we got

In the days before the power lines when L B J taught school

We dreamed of a fairer nation and promised to change the rules

To build a great society and all the folks in the same room

Fighting a war on poverty and taking us to the moon

When there's no more cane on the grasses

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When the wells run dry on the flatlands

Cotton's all we got, oh cotton's all we got

Then the wind will feed the power lines where once it was dust that blew

All along the Chisholm Trail where cotton's all we knew

When there's no more cane on the grasses

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When the wells are dry on the flatlands

Cotton's all we got, oh cotton's all we got

Cotton's all we got


Mirror lyrics:

Cotton's all we got

Cotton's all we got, oh cotton's all we got

When the wells are dry on the flatlands

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When there's no more cane on the grasses

All along the Chisholm Trail where cotton's all we knew

Then the wind will feed the power lines where once it was dust that blew

Cotton's all we got, oh cotton's all we got

When the wells run dry on the flatlands

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When there's no more cane on the grasses

Fighting a war on poverty and taking us to the moon

To build a great society and all the folks in the same room

We dreamed of a fairer nation and promised to change the rules

In the days before the power lines when L B J taught school

Cotton's all we got, cotton's all we got

When the wells are dry on the flatlands

And the oil is gone in the gulf

When there's no more cane on the grasses

Some years the dust was so ruthless, this cotton was all we grew

We lived off our victory garden and the neighbors did so too

Butter came from butter beans and it all went in a stew

Oh, my family grew cotton and cotton was all we knew
