[VERSE 1]
A E G D
My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '42
A E7
When I was just a child in Momma's arms
A E G D
My Daddy plowed the fields and prayed and did all he could do
A E7 A
To save that broke-down Oklahoma farm
E D A
Then one night I heard my Daddy sayin' to my Momma
B7 E7
That he finally saved enough for us to go
A E G D
California was his dream, a paradise that he had seen
A E7 A
In pictures and the magazines had told him so
[CHORUS]
D E
California cotton fields
D E D A
Where labor camps were filled with worried men and broken dreams
D E
California cotton fields
D E A
Was as close to wealth as Daddy ever came
[VERSE 2]
A E G D
Almost everything we owned was sold or left behind
A E7
From Daddy's tools to the fruit that Momma canned
A E G D
Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell
A E7 A
Some just came to shake my Daddy's hand
E D A
Well the Model-T was loaded down and California bound
B7 E7
And the dream of hope was just four days away
A E G D
But the only change that I remember seein' in my Daddy
A E7 A
Was when his brown hair turned to silver grey
[CHORUS]
D E
California cotton fields
D E D A
Where labor camps were filled with worried men and broken dreams
D E
California cotton fields
D E A
Was as close to wealth as Daddy ever came
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[CHORUS]

California cotton fields
D E D A
Where labor camps were filled with worried men and broken dreams

Was as close to wealth as Daddy ever came

Was as close to wealth as Daddy ever came
D E G D A
Was as close to wealth as Daddy ever came
