Cotton Dan The Cox Family
I didn't understand all the lyrics. I wrote the uncertain words in capital
letters. Some aid is always welcome...
=====================================
I re[E]member lazy afternoons on the DELTA FARM
an [A]old black man named cotton dan playing his blues gui[E]tar
he was blind and one-armed and his ha[G#]ir was white as chalk[A]
E B A riff2
but lord he could make that guitar talk..
Well, Cotton used used to tell me 'bout the ol' days in the fields
singing songs of glory with that BOLDS man on the hills
when the work was over, at the dying of the day
E B E riff1
he would sing his ol' blues away
(Refrain)
he would s[C7#]ing his blues his hea[F7#]rt would never MELT
B7 A E riff1
closed his eyes shook his head and sang it again
[C7#]sing the blues and I[F7#] would clap my hands
B7 A riff2
I always knew I had a friend in Cotton Dan.
(Solo)
Well, Cotton died last winter withe guitar by his bed
I was way up north when I got the news that he was dead.
Cotton, I've been whishing you were here with me today
so we could sing our ol' blues away.
[E]Glory glory halelujah
[A]Glory glory halel[E]ujah
[G#]Glory glory halel[A]ujah
he w[E]ould sing his o[B]l' blues a[E]way
Refrain
