Capo 3

     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. 
 
             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.
 
 
       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 
 
      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. 
{2x} 
 
                       G              C 
We were sowin? oats at Cotton Pickin? Time 
                       G              C 
We were sowin? oats at Cotton Pickin? Time.
