lyrics

You can see him plow the fields from early spring to fall
Forty years he's been here, he's never stopped at all
But age is a funny thing it'll catch up in time
He can't plow quite so long down that never ending line

Behind the plow he thinks about the early days of his life
The youthful trance of a sweet romance in the starry southern night
Stopping for a second, he heaves a heavy sigh
as the green cotton, as the green cotton, as the green cotton starts to dry

He's walked a thousand miles and never been anywhere
Back and forth across the field in the sulty southern air
And on the road beside his home the world passed him by
And he knows that he's grown old and hangs his head to cry

Behind the plow he thinks about the early days of his life
The youthful trance of a sweet romance in the starry southern night
Stopping for a second, he heaves a heavy sigh
as the green cotton, as the green cotton, as the green cotton starts to dry
