Capo 3 
C  

     C 
On a Mississippi mornin'  
   F                C 
My dad yelled out a warnin' 
                        G            C 
Son you better hit that cotton patch soon 

And on my way on down the field 
F               C 
As I passed Old Johnson's Mill 
                    G              C 
I saw Becky Morgan, skinny dippin' nude. 
 

       C 
Well I couldn't help but stop and stare 
F            C 
Hypnotized I stood right there                    

Enchanted by the beauty that I'd seen         

Then she gave me a come here smile 
F               C 
Nearly drove my body wild 
            G                     C                
I fell down tryin' to kick off my jeans. 
 
Chorus: 
             C              C/G 
Well on that cotton pickin' mornin' 
      F            C 
I met up with Beck Morgan 

You know that day I didn't get to work on time 
                      C/G 
And in the days of my December  
  F           C 
I know I will remember 
               G              C 
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. 
 

       C 
Well I lost my job that summer 
      F              C 
But I guess I had it comin'  

Cause that pickin' cotton just wasn't on my mind 

But you don't get too much money 
         F            C 
When you got a Tupelo honey 
                        G                  C 
Keepin' you cool in the Mississippi hot sunshine. 
 
Chorus2: 
          C              C/G 
And every cotton pickin' mornin' 
      F             C 
I met up with Becky Morgan 

The whole dang I never got to work on time 
                      C/G 
And in the days of my December  
  F           C 
I know I will remember 
               G              C 
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. 
 

C F C G C F C G C 
 
      C 
We've come along way since then 

Now I own that cotton gin 

And I bought that mill  
G                C 
Just to make her smile  

And to keep our love from growin' old 
   F                   C 
We still go down there to that hole 
               G                C 
Skinny dip and Becky is just as wild. 
 
Chorus3: 
          C              C/G 
And every cotton pickin' mornin' 
       F             C 
I wake up with Becky Morgan 

And to this day I never got to work on time 
                       C/G 
And in the days of our December  
  F               C 
I know we'll will remember 
               G              C 
Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. 
 
Chorus3: 
                       G              C 
We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time 
                       G              C 
We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
