Pickin' Time Lyrics - The Fabulous Johnny Cash - Johnny Cash

(Spoken) 

I got cotton in the bottom land 

It's up and growin' and I got a good stand 

My good wife and them kids of mine 

Gonna get new shoes, come Pickin' Time 

Get new shoes come Pickin' Time. 

Ev'ry night when I go to bed 

I thank the Lord that my kids are fed 

They live on beans eight days and nine 

But I get 'em fat come Pickin' Time 

Get 'em fat come come Pickin' Time.

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

The corn is yellow and the beans are high 

The sun is hot in the summer sky 

The work is hard til layin' by 

Layin' by til Pickin' Time 

Layin' by til Pickin' Time. 

It's hard to see by the coal-oil light 

And I turn it off purty early at night 

'Cause a jug of coal-oil costs a dime 

But I stay up late come Pickin' Time 

Stay up late come Pickin' Time. 

My old wagon barely gets me to town 

I patched the wheels and I watered 'em down 

Keep her in shape so she'll be fine 

To haul my cotton come Pickin' Time 

Haul my cotton come Pickin' Time.

Last Sunday mornin' when they passed the hat 

It was still nearly empty back where I sat 

But the preacher smiled and said that's fine 

The Lord'll wait til Pickin' Time 

The Lord'll wait til Pickin' Time.
