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 dont need much more Here in Cottontown Tobacco barns and cotton bales Rocking buds and whippoorwills Good old boys and Southern belles Here in Cottontown Were 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 Aint no troubles ever stay Here in Cottontown Cottontown Ive got a gal in Cottontown Doesnt mind m hangin round Gonna put her in a satin gown Here in Cottontown W might have us a kid or three A picket fence and an apple tree Homegrown lovins all we need Here in Cottontown You might also likeWe dance all our cares away As the fiddle and the banjo play Aint 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 Aint no troubles ever stay Here in Cottontown Cottontown Cottontown Cottontown Cottontown
