Blake Shelton - Cotton Pickin Time

capo 3

[ verse 1 ]
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 .

[ verse 2 ]
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 .

[ chorus ]
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

[ verse 3 ]
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 .

[ chorus ]
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 .
