Johnny Cash – Jesus Was Our Saviour And Cotton Was Our King (Guitar)

A
Wagon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound

      D                                               A
When me and little Tommy rode the first load in the town

      D                                              A
The cotton gin was ginning out the pennies for the pounds

         E                                           A
Like a giant vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the ground

A                                        E              A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough

                                           E                A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff

       D                                                  A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean

                     E                         A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king

A
This kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen

       D                                                 A
Seems some of us was born for picking things and eaten beans

         D                                          A
Still I reckon girl or diggin' fairly well in our means

                       E                         A
Cause Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king

A                                        E              A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough

                                           E                A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff

       D                                                  A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean

                      E                        A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king

A                                        E              A
Our freckled faces sparkled then like diamonds in the rough

                                           E                A
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and good old Garett snuff

       D                                                  A
If I could I would be tradin' all this fat back for the lean

                      E                        A
When Jesus was our Saviour and cotton was our king
