California Cottonfields（24-Bit Digitally Remastered 05）- Merle Haggard
My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43

When I was just a child in momma's arms

My daddy plowed the ground
and prayed someday he could leave

This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm

And then one night
I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma

That he'd finally saved enough to go

California was his dream,
a paradise for he had seen
Pictures in magazines that told him so

California cottonfields

Where labor camps were filled
With worried men with broken dreams

California cottonfields

As close to wealth as daddy ever came

Almost everything we had was sold or left behind

From my daddy's plow to the fruit that momma canned

Some folks came to say farewell
or see what all we had to sell

Some just came to shake my daddy's hand

That model a was loaded down and California bound

And a change of luck was just four days away

But the only change
that I remember seein' for my daddy
Was when his dark hair turned to silver gray

California cottonfields

Where labor camps were filled
With worried men with broken dreams

California cottonfields

As close to wealth as daddy ever came
