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
4
Someday we might leave this rundown mortgaged Oklahoma farm.
5
And then one night I heard my daddy
6
Aaying to my mama that he'd finally saved enough to go
7
Californa was his dream of paradise
8
Fore he had seen pictures in magazines that told him so.
9
Californa cottonfields where labor camps are filled
10
With worried men with broken dreams
11
Californa cottonfields as close to wealth
12
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
16
We had to sell 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
Californa cottonfields where labor camps are filled
22
With worried men with broken dreams
23
Californa cottonfields as close to wealth
24
As daddy ever came.
25
Californa cottonfields where labor camps are filled
26
With worried men with broken dreams
27
Californa cottonfields as close to wealth
28
As daddy ever came...
