《The Cotton Patch》歌词

[00:00:00] The Cotton Patch - Jeannie C. Riley

[00:00:08] I was raised in the middle of the cotton belt babe

[00:00:12] But I ain't gonna stay

[00:00:15] I'll lose my shape fast draggin' cotton sacks

[00:00:19] And eatin' butter beans everyday

[00:00:23] Yeah I'm a sweet young thing I just turned eighteen

[00:00:27] And I'm unhookin' the latch

[00:00:32] 'Cause I've got too much class

[00:00:35] For this cotton patch

[00:00:39] I've been readin' magazines on

[00:00:41] A once a week trip to town on Saturday

[00:00:47] And I've seen all pretty clothes and had some rich men

[00:00:50] And I know that's for me

[00:00:54] Papa's been tryin' to pair me up with Willie Bond

[00:00:58] Whose daddy owns the cotton gin

[00:01:01] Ha

[00:01:02] I done checked Willie out two years ago

[00:01:05] And Willie knows I'm too much for him

[00:01:10] It's Monday mornin' four o'clock got my sack packed

[00:01:13] And I'm out here where the freeway runs

[00:01:18] Here comes a truck I'm in luck

[00:01:20] He's goin' straight through

[00:01:22] On a Dallas run

[00:01:25] Yeah I'm headin' for big d and I know that's place

[00:01:29] For me to really make a catch

[00:01:33] Well finally I'm a gettin' my class

[00:01:37] Out of this cotton patch

[00:01:41] I arrived in style aboard that big semi

[00:01:45] And I felt mighty high

[00:01:49] Waltzin' into the best department store

[00:01:52] For employment to suit my style

[00:01:57] And I was doin' pretty good

[00:01:59] 'Till some wisecracker came on the scene

[00:02:04] He called me a ripe tomato

[00:02:07] But he said

[00:02:08] I sure look green

[00:02:12] I tried ever door to ever store in town

[00:02:16] But my luck had run down

[00:02:20] It seemed nobody 'round Dallas could recognize

[00:02:23] The class I'd brought to town

[00:02:28] And after all day of looking would you believe

[00:02:30] The only job I could land

[00:02:35] Was in a dog food factory

[00:02:37] Stickin' labels

[00:02:39] On dog food cans

[00:02:43] Dear mama how are you pop and the kids

[00:02:47] Hope you're doin' okay

[00:02:50] Me I never did find a better job

[00:02:54] And all the rich men got away

[00:02:58] Mama I've been thinkin' pretty soon

[00:03:00] You know

[00:03:02] I'll be nineteen

[00:03:06] And I sure learned a lot about class fast

[00:03:10] Mama

[00:03:10] Know what I mean

[00:03:15] Mama if you'd ask papa if he'd spare a few dollars

[00:03:18] I'd catch the next greyhound comin' home

[00:03:21] And tell you if Willie Bond ain't committed

[00:03:23] Yet I'd be willin' to give it a try

[00:03:25] After all it's been a
