True story: Roy Clark sang this song in our living room. When he got to the chorus, he would sing "I never picked cotton, but my mother did, and my brother did, and my sister did, but my Daddy died young, sittin on a shit pot." We all laughed. That was a lifetime ago.

My best friend when I was a teen and I used to sit around his house drinking beer and singing this song. That and "Thank God and Greyhound She's Gone". Brings back a lot of really OLD good memories.

I can still see the look in the old timers faces talking about picking cotton and the coal mines of Oklahoma. The towns are just a forgotten spot in the road now.

Pickin' at its finest by one of country music's finest. I was just a wee shaver when I first heard this song and I would listen to it over and over trying to picture the family he was singing about. I guess it was because we were so poor and the story the song told reminded me of my own family and an uncle who went to prison for armed robbery.
