Capo 3 C5 C5 On a Mississippi mornin' F5 C5 My dad yelled out a warnin' G5 C5 Son you better hit that cotton patch soon And on my way on down the field F5 C5 As I passed Old Johnson's Mill G5 C5 I saw Becky Morgan, skinny dippin' nude. C5 Well I couldn't help but stop and stare F5 C5 Hypnotized I stood right there Enchanted by the beauty that I'd seen Then she gave me a come here smile F5 C5 Nearly drove my body wild G5 C5 I fell down tryin' to kick off my jeans. Chorus: C5 C5 Well on that cotton pickin' mornin' F5 C5 I met up with Beck Morgan You know that day I didn't get to work on time C5 And in the days of my December F5 C5 I know I will remember G5 C5 Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. C5 Well I lost my job that summer F5 C5 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 F5 C5 When you got a Tupelo honey G5 C5 Keepin' you cool in the Mississippi hot sunshine. Chorus2: C5 C5 And every cotton pickin' mornin' F5 C5 I met up with Becky Morgan The whole dang I never got to work on time C5 And in the days of my December F5 C5 I know I will remember G5 C5 Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. C5 F5 C5 G5 C5 F5 C5 G5 C5 C5 We've come along way since then Now I own that cotton gin And I bought that mill G5 C5 Just to make her smile And to keep our love from growin' old F5 C5 We still go down there to that hole G5 C5 Skinny dip and Becky is just as wild. Chorus3: C5 C5 And every cotton pickin' mornin' F5 C5 I wake up with Becky Morgan And to this day I never got to work on time C5 And in the days of our December F5 C5 I know we'll will remember G5 C5 Sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time. Chorus3: G5 C5 We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time G5 C5 We were sowin' oats at Cotton Pickin' Time.
