Verse 1
D
Wagon wheels are turning with the
G
cobble colored sound
A
When me and little Tommy rode
D
the first load in the town
The cotton gin was ginning out
G
the pennies for the pounds
A
Like a giant vacuum cleaner
sucking lint up off the ground
D

Verse 2
Our freckled faces sparkled then like
G
diamonds in the rough
A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and

good old Garett snuff
If I could I would be tradin' all

When Je sus was our saviour
D
and cotton was our king
Verse 3
D
This kind of life we're living
G
beats all I've ever seen

Seems some of us was born for

Still I reckon we're all diggin' fairly
G
well within our means
A
'Cause Jesus was our Saviour
D
and cotton was our king
Verse 4

good old Garett snuff
If I could I would be tradin' all

this fat back for the lean
A
When Jesus was our saviour and
D
cotton was our king
