Sammy Kershaw - Cotton County Queen lyrics

rate me

(Wally Wilson/Sam Hogin/Phil Barnhart)

My baby came and got me in her Mama's Cadillac

We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch

She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees

My mind ran wild with the possibilities

Like Rhett and Scarlett climbin' up the stairs

We were on our way to heaven in the melons out there

She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream

Prettiest thing I ever had seen

Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans

The upper Mississippi Delta Cotton County Queen

She had a judge for a Daddy, he made her tow the line

Brother he was tougher than a year of hard time

He came by and caught us rollin' in the weeds

Said "Boy get goin' if you're ever gonna leave"

I took off runnin' out of that place

All the while thinkin' 'bout her beautiful face

She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream

Prettiest thing I ever had seen

Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans

The upper Mississippi Delta Cotton County Queen

Snuck up to the house in the heat of the night

Hid in the hedge 'til they turned out the lights

Tapped on the windows said "Darlin' let's go"

And we were gone with the wind in her El Dorado

She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream

Prettiest thing I ever had seen

Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans

The upper Mississippi Delta Cotton County Queen

Yeah she's the cerfold picture in a country boy's dream

The upper Mississippi Delta Cotton County Queen

Upper Mississippi, Delta Cotton County Queen
