My driftin' memory goes back to the spring of '43

When I was just a child in momma's arms.

My daddy plowed the ground and promised someday we would leave

This run-down mortgaged Oklahoma farm.

Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my momma

That he'd finally saved enough to go.

California was his dream a paradise for he had seen

Pictures in magazines that told him so.

California Cottonfields

Where labor camps were filled with weary men with broken dreams.

California Cottonfields

As close to wealth as daddy ever came.

Nearly everything we had was sold or left behind

From my daddy's plow to the soup that momma canned.

Some folks came to say farewell or see what all we had to sell
