Cottontown

I was born in Cottontown
 Third generation down
 Eight of us and a redbone hound
 Here in Cottontown
 A little white church and a general store
 Local grains with a dancin' floor
 Reckon we don't need much more
 Here in Cottontown
 Tobacco barns and cotton bales
 Rocking buds and whippoorwills
 Good old boys and Southern belles
 Here in Cottontown
 We're known to drink a little shine
 On Saturday night as sweet as wine
 Just to get the feet a flyin'
 We dance all our cares away
 As the fiddle and the banjo play
 Ain't no troubles ever stay
 Here in Cottontown
 Cottontown
 I've got a gal in Cottontown
 Doesn't mind me hangin' round
 Gonna put her in a satin gown
 Here in Cottontown
 We might have us a kid or three
 A picket fence and an apple tree
 Homegrown lovin's all we need
 Here in Cottontown
 We dance all our cares away
 As the fiddle and the banjo play
 Ain't no troubles ever stay
 Here in Cottontown
 Cottontown
 Lay me down in Cottontown
 Close enough to hear the sound
 Of Billy and the Low Ground
 Played here in Cottontown
 The only wish I care to make
 Before I reach those pearly gates
 Is that Heaven has a place just like Cottontown
 We dance all our cares away
 As the fiddle and the banjo play
 Ain't no troubles ever stay
 Here in Cottontown
 Cottontown
