I was born in the land of cotton
way down near Atlantic Island
oh Lord that was the home for me
Little truck farm and a vegetable garden
peach trees in the summer sunshine
yessir, that was the land for me
But everything changed and I grew older
I thought I'd like the weather colder
so I loaded up and headed for Calgary
Got me a little ol Eskimo bride
with the lighted fire in her eyes
oh Lord I thought she was for me
CHORUS
I've got them CottonPatch Blues down in my shoes
come on babe whatya got to lose
just come on down to the sunny side of life
Just fly down south where the people talk slower
yeah, just come on over,
come on down to the sunny side of life
We headed on down to Nebraska-land
bought a little farm had a little band
oh Lordy, just a happy as can be
Then a big ol storm done wiped me out
and left me here all down and out
just sittin on the corner singing the Dogpatch Blues
CHORUS
I got them CottonPatch Blues down in my shoes
come on babe whatya got to lose
just come on down to the sunny side of life
Just fly down south where the people talk slower
yeah, come on over,
just come on down to the sunny side of life
