Jesus Was Our Saviour And Cotton Was Our King Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[A]Wagon wheels are turning with cobble colored sound
When m[D]e and little Tommy rode the first load in the to[A]wn
The co[D]tton gin was ginning out the pennies for the po[A]unds
Like a gi[E]ant vacuum cleaner sucking let up off the gr[A]ound

[CHORUS]
[A]Our freckled faces sparkled then like dia[E]monds in the ro[A]ugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and g[E]ood old Garett sn[A]uff
If I co[D]uld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the le[A]an
When Jesus was our Sa[E]viour and cotton was our k[A]ing

[VERSE]
[A]This kind of life we're living beats all I've ever seen
Seems s[D]ome of us was born for picking things and eaten be[A]ans
Still I r[D]eckon girl or diggin' fairly well in our me[A]ans
Cause Jesus was our Sav[E]iour and cotton was our ki[A]ng

[CHORUS]
[A]Our freckled faces sparkled then like dia[E]monds in the ro[A]ugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and g[E]ood old Garett sn[A]uff
If I co[D]uld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the le[A]an
When Jesus was our Sav[E]iour and cotton was our k[A]ing

[CHORUS]
[A]Our freckled faces sparkled then like dia[E]monds in the ro[A]ugh
With smiles it smells of snaggleteeth and g[E]ood old Garett sn[A]uff
If I co[D]uld I would be tradin' all this fat back for the le[A]an
When Jesus was our Sav[E]iour and cotton was our k[A]ing
