Cotton Mill Man Recorded by Jim and Jesse Written by Joe Langston
C I was born in the shadow of a cotton mill smokestack G7 C Down in Alabama's bottom land
Where my Grandpappy broke his back pullin' on a cotton sack G7 C To raise my pa to be a cotton mill man
Am Em I've got lots of memories of government commodities Am Em When all our meat came in a can Am While the boss-man on the hill Em Bought his steak and ate his fill F# G7 Em And called upon to clean his grill a cotton mill man
F G7 Lord don't let my son grow up F G7 C To be a sweaty cotton mill man
I grew up in the gloom of a cotton mill weave room G7 C With weaver's glue and callouses all over my hands
I didn't have a honeymoon I couldn't leave my cotton loom G7 C I swore my son would never be a cotton mill man
Am Em I watched my woman cry when our baby daughter died Am Em Am I couldn't make her understand why a doctor never came Em The lack of money was to blame F# G7 Em And I cussed the day that I became a cotton mill man
F G7 Lord don't let my son grow up F G7 C To be a sweaty cotton mill man
The company taught us all the rules
On how to work with spinning spools G7 C So the bosses' son could drive a big black sedan
The company owned the houses
And the company owned the grammar school G7 C You'll never see an educated cotton mill man
Am Em They figure you don't need to learn anything but how to earn Am Em The money that you pay upon demand Am To the general store they own Em Or else they'll take away your home F# G7 Em And give it to some other homeless cotton mill man
F G7 Lord don't let my son grow up F G7 C To be a sweaty cotton mill man
F G7 Lord don't let my son grow up F G7 C To be a sweaty cotton mill man
