Pickin' Time
Written and Recorded by Johnny Cash
C 
I got cotton in the  
G7 
bottom 
 
land
 
It's up and growin' and I  
C 
got a good stand
 
My good wife and them  
G7 
kids of mine
 
Gonna get new shoes come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
Get new shoes come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
 
Every night when I  
G7 
go to bed
 
I thank the Lord that my  
C 
kids are fed
 
They live on beans eight  
G7 
days in nine
 
But I get 'em fat come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
Get 'em fat come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
 
The corn is yellow and my  
G7 
beans're 
 
high
 
The sun is hot in the  
C 
summer 
 
sky
 
The work is hard  
G7 
till layin' by
 
Layin' by till  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
Layin' by till  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
 
It's hard to see by the  
G7 
coal-oil 
 
light
 
And I turn it off pretty  
C 
early at night
 
Cause a jug of coal-oil  
G7 
costs a dime
 
But I stay up late come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
Stay up late come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
 
My old wagon barely  
G7 
gets me to town
 
I patched the wheels and I  
C 
watered 'em down
 
Keep her in shape so  
G7 
she'll be fine
 
To haul my cotton come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
Haul my cotton come  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
 
Last Sunday mornin' when they  
G7 
passed the hat
 
It was still nearly empty  
C 
back where I sat
 
But the preacher smiled and  
G7 
said that's fine
 
The Lord'll wait till  
C 
pickin' 
 
time
G7 
The Lord'll wait till  
C 
pickin' 
 
time

Who is Johnny Cash?
- John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black".Born to poor cotton farmers in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash rose to fame in the burgeoning rockabilly scene in Memphis, Tennessee, after four years in the Air Force. He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash", followed by "Folsom Prison Blues", one of his signature songs. Alongside "Folsom Prison Blues", his other signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue", a duet with his future wife June called "Jackson" (followed by many further duets after their wedding), and railroad songs such as "Hey, Porter", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Rock Island Line". During the last stage of his career, he covered songs by contemporary rock artists of the time his most notable covers were "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden and, "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.
Cash is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His genre-spanning music embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel sounds. This crossover appeal earned him the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
