My driftin' mem'ry goes back to the spring of '43

When I was just a child in mama's arms

My daddy plowed the ground and prayed that some day we could leave

This run down mortaged Oklahoma farm

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

That he finally saved enough for us to go

California was his dream a paradise wall he had seen

Pictures in magazines that told him so

California cottonfields

Where labor camps were full of worried men with broken dreams

California cottonfields was as close to wealth as daddy ever came

[ rh.guitar ]

Almost everything we had was sold or left behind

From daddy's plow and the fruit that mama canned

Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell

But some just came to shake my daddy's hand

The Model A was loaded down and California bound

And a change of luck was just four days away

But the only change that I remember seeing for my daddy

Was when his dark hair had turned to silver gray

California cottonfields...

California cottonfields...

  • If My Heart Had Windows
    "If my heart had windows you'd see a heart full of love just for you
    A tear may appear when I hold you near but that's for the sweet things you do

  • Lord Is That Me
    "I can see a long line of cars with their headlights on
    I can see kinfolks cryin' cause somebody's gone
    Then they gather around as it let the sinner men down
    And I can see an old preacher prayin' with a frown..."
  • My Baby Packed Up My Mind And Left Me
    "I didn't hear the engines of a jet-plane I didn't hear the whistle of a train

    I didn't hear her walkin' cross the floor
    But my baby packed up my mind and then she left me..."
  • She Wakes Me With A Kiss Every Morning
    "How lucky I am to have searched for and found the beginning of the rest of my life
    She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night

    She wakes me with a kiss every morning and she loves me to sleep every night..."
