| My driftin' mem’ry goes back to the spring of '43 |
| When I was just a child in mama’s arms |
| My daddy plowed the ground and prayed that some day we could leave |
| This run down mortaged Oklahoma farm |
| Then one night I heard my daddy sayin' to my mama |
| That he finally saved enough for us to go |
| California was his dream a paradise wall he had seen |
| Pictures in magazines that told him so California cottonfields |
| Where labor camps were full of worried men with broken dreams |
| California cottonfields was as close to wealth as daddy ever came |
| Almost everything we had was sold or left behind |
| From daddy’s plow and the fruit that mama canned |
| Some folks came to say farewell and see what all we had to sell |
| But some just came to shake my daddy’s hand |
| The Model A was loaded down and California bound |
| And a change of luck was just four days away |
| But the only change that I remember seeing for my daddy |
| Was when his dark hair had turned to silver gray |
| California cottonfields… |
| California cottonfields… |
