When I was just a baby, too little for the cotton sack I played in the dirt while the others worked till they couldnFt straighten up their backs (up to F#...) and I made myself a promise when I was old enought to run that IFd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun, but (...back down to E)

chorus:
It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt He said go back to your cotton sack, I left him lyinF in the dirt and theyFll take me in the morning to the gallows just outside and in the time I got there ainFt a heck of a lot I can look back on with pride but
