1
my drifiting memory goes back to the spring of 43
2
when i was just a child in mama's arms
3
my daddy plowed the ground and prayed someday we might leave this rundown mortgaged oklahoma farm
4
and then one night i heard my daddy saying to my mama
5
that he'd finall saved enough to go
6
californa was his dream of paradise
7
fore he had seen pictures in magazines
8
that told him so
9
californa cottonfields
10
where labor camps are filled with worried men with broken dreams
11
californa cottonfields
12
as close to welath as daddy ever came
13
well almost everything we had was sold or left behind
14
from my daddy's plow to the fruit that mama canned
15
and some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell
16
and some just came to shake my daddy's hand
17
well the Model A was loaded down and californa bound
18
and a change of luck was just four days away
19
but the only change that i remember seeing for my daddy
20
was when his dark hair turned to silver gray
21
(repeat chours 2x)
