Help! Chords for Bob Wills "Cotton Patch Blues"??

Post by Jon Gersh »

Friends, I'm in over my head! I can't figure out the chords to Bob Wills "Cotton Patch Blues" (NOT cotton patch RAG). Can someone help me please?

Here are the words, if anyone can annotate this with chords, I'd be most grateful (even willing to pay a small amount). Thank you! Jon Gersh, Arlington MA

p.s. listen to tons of hillbilly music, plenty of steel, on www.wumb.org Sunday Nights 9PM-Midnite EST... or 91.9fm in the Boston area.

Cotton Patch Blues

Sittin’ on this plow day dreamin’, Thinkin’ of the week to come

Old cotton patch is hot, can’t think a worse spot To be, on a hot summer day.

Next week I will get my hoe down, and I’ll hit the field at break of day

That will be so sad, my feet will hurt so bad, when I chop the cotton all the day

bridge

Mule’s been a balkin’, they’re tired of walking, Up and down the cotton rows so straight

They should pull their best, cause soon they’ll get a rest They won’t have very long to wait

And when the pickin’ starts this fall, I’ll need my cotton sack that’s all.

My back will nearly break from pullin’ all that weight

When I start to pickin’ cotton this fall.
