My Grand Daddy

My grand daddy, he picked the cotton. Yes, he picked the cotton.
He picked the cotton just to live on the land that he did.

My grand daddy, he paid the farmer. Yes, he paid the farmer. He paid the farmer just to live on the land that he lived, yes he did.

Way down here in the land of the rotten. Yes the land of the rotten. Way down here in the land of the rotten, he paid and he worked for the things that he did.

Ohhhh....The past is not forgotten
Ohhhh.... the man raised seven kids
Ohhhh.... They say it is what it is
Ohhhh.... I'm proud he lived.
