California Cotton Fields
Recorded by Seldom Scene
Written by Dallas Frazier and Earl Montgomery

G D7 F C
My drifting memory goes back to the spring of '43
G D7
When I was just a child in momma's arms
G D7
My daddy plowed the ground
F C
And prayed that someday he might leave
G D7 G
This rundown mortgaged Oklahoma farm

D7 C G
And then one day I heard my daddy saying to my momma
A7 D7
That he had finally saved enough to go
G D7 F
Well California was his dream of paradise
C G D7 G
For he had seen pictures in a magazine that told him so

C D7
California cotton fields
C D7 C G
When labor camps were filled with worried men with broken dreams
C D7
California cotton fields
C D7 G
As close to wealth as daddy ever came

D7 F C
Almost everything we had was sold or left behind
G D7
From my daddy's plow to the fruit that momma canned
G D7
Yes some folks came to say farewell
F C
And see what all we had to sell
G D7 G
Some just came to shake my daddy's hand

D7 C G
Yeah the Model A was loaded down and California bound
A7 D7
But the change it looked just four days away
G D7 F C
But the only change that I remember seeing in my daddy
G D7 G
Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray

Repeat #3,5,3
