Capo 3
[C]
On a [C]Mississippi mornin?
My [F]dad yelled out a [C]warnin?
Son you better hit that [G]cotton patch [C]soon
And on my way on down the field
[F]As I passed Old [C]Johnson?s Mill
I saw Becky Morgan, [G]skinny dippin? [C]nude.
Well I [C]couldn?t help but stop and stare
[F]Hypnotized I [C]stood right there
Enchanted by the beauty that I?d seen
Then she gave me a come here smile
[F]Nearly drove my [C]body wild
I fell down [G]tryin? to kick off my [C]jeans.
Chorus:
Well on that [C]cotton pickin? [C/G]mornin?
I met [F]up with Beck [C]Morgan
You know that day I didn?t get to work on time
And in the days of my [C/G]December
I [F]know I will [C]remember
Sowin? oats at [G]Cotton Pickin? [C]Time.
Well I [C]lost my job that summer
But I [F]guess I had it [C]comin?
Cause that pickin? cotton just wasn?t on my mind
But you don?t get too much money
When you [F]got a Tupelo [C]honey
Keepin? you cool in the [G]Mississippi hot sun[C]shine.
Chorus:
And every [C]cotton pickin? [C/G]mornin?
I met [F]up with Becky [C]Morgan
The whole dang I never got to work on time
And in the days of my [C/G]December
I [F]know I will [C]remember
Sowin? oats at [G]Cotton Pickin? [C]Time.
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
We?ve [C]come along way since then
Now I own that cotton gin
And I bought that mill
[G]Just to make her [C]smile
And to keep our love from growin? old
We [F]still go down there [C]to that hole
Skinny dip and [G]Becky is just as [C]wild.
Chorus:
And every [C]cotton pickin? [C/G]mornin?
I wake [F]up with Becky [C]Morgan
And to this day I never got to work on time
And in the days of our [C/G]December
I [F]know we?ll will [C]remember
Sowin? oats at [G]Cotton Pickin? [C]Time.
(2x)
We were sowin? oats at [G]Cotton Pickin? [C]Time
We were sowin? oats at [G]Cotton Pickin? [C]Time.
