Pickin' White Gold Songtext

von Waylon Jennings

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Pickin' White Gold" von Waylon Jennings erzählt die Geschichte eines Erntearbeiters, der in Louisiana Baum...

Down in the place where I call home
I've been workin? my fingers to the bone
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.

All day long in Louisiana sun
Pickin? and a pullin? white cotton by the tons
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.

I fill my sack and I put it on my shoulder
And then I take one again
Old man cotton won't let me make a nickel
Till I get it to a cotton gin.

So I bent my back till I think it's gonna break
Try to keep a thinkin? how much I'm gonna make
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.

There's a little girl I call Bellie all day
She works alongside of me
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.

Her lips are soft as a cotton in a hand
And side by side we're makin? our plans
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.

There's a little house with a little solid ground
That would make a mighty pretty home
All we need is little money down
And we could call it our home.

I can't rest till I get through
I need the money for what it can do
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold
Pickin? white gold, pickin? white gold.
