Johnny Cash - Jesus Was Our Saviour (Cotton Was Our King): chords

F                              A#
Wagon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound
      C                                              F
When me and little Tommy rode the first load in the town
The cotton gin was ginning out the pennies for the pounds
Like a giant vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the ground

Chorus:
      F                                A#              F
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough
       C                                                    F
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff
      F                                 A#
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean
      C                                        F
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king

This kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen
Seems some of us was born for picking things and eaten beans
Still I reckon girl or digging fairly well in our means
Because Jesus was our Savior and cotton was our king
