Eric Bibb - Tall Cotton lyrics

My great grandma tol' me when I was young
Keep a song in your heart an'
A truth on your tongue
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days

Well, the years rolled by an'
I done all I could
To follow her advice an' it turned out good
I been walkin' in tall cotton all of my days
I been walkin' in tall cotton all of my days

Tol' my good friend Zora on the telephone
Though the past has gone
An' the future's unknown
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days
Child, you'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days

Well, I know where I'm goin'
An' who's goin' with me
Place full of joy, so baby, please
Don't quit me i'll be walkin' with you in
Tall cotton all our days
We'll be walkin' in tall cotton
All of our days

It's a long way to heaven an' then again
It's here an' now
If ya know whеre to find it
My great grandma tol' me how -
You'll bе walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days (That's what she said)
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days

Another thing she tol' me when I was a child
Keep a shiny pair of shoes, child
You'll always be in style
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days
Yeah, you'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days
You'll be walkin' in tall
Cotton all your days
