Текст песни Tall Cotton - Eric Bibb

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
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 where to find it, - my great grandma tol' me how
You′ll be walkin' in tall cotton all your days
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
You′ll be walkin' in tall cotton all your days
