《Cotton》歌词

[00:00:00] Cotton - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:04] Oh my family grew cotton and cotton

[00:00:11] Was all we knew

[00:00:14] Butter came from butter beans and it all

[00:00:19] Went in a stew

[00:00:23] We lived off our victory garden and the

[00:00:27] Neighbors did so too

[00:00:31] Some years the dust was so ruthless this

[00:00:36] Cotton was all we grew

[00:00:40] When there's no more cane on the grasses

[00:00:44] And the oil is gone in the gulf

[00:00:49] When the wells are dry on the flatlands

[00:00:54] Cotton's all we got cotton's all we got

[00:01:04] In the days before the power lines

[00:01:09] When L B J taught school

[00:01:13] We dreamed of a fairer nation and

[00:01:17] Promised to change the rules

[00:01:22] To build a great society and all the folks

[00:01:28] In the same room

[00:01:30] Fighting a war on poverty and taking us to the moon

[00:01:39] When there's no more cane on the grasses

[00:01:43] And the oil is gone in the gulf

[00:01:47] When the wells run dry on the flatlands

[00:01:52] Cotton's all we got oh cotton's all we got

[00:02:17] Then the wind will feed the power lines

[00:02:22] Where once it was dust that blew

[00:02:26] All along the Chisholm Trail where

[00:02:31] Cotton's all we knew

[00:02:34] When there's no more cane on the grasses

[00:02:39] And the oil is gone in the gulf

[00:02:43] When the wells are dry on the flatlands

[00:02:48] Cotton's all we got oh cotton's all we got

[00:02:57] Cotton's all we got
