Testo Cotton Was King - Widespread Panic
Testo della canzone Cotton Was King (Widespread Panic), tratta dall'album Live In Asheville 4/8/2011
Before the beginning
You know something already started
In the southern smoking islands
Welcoming all the full-hearted
Some settled down
With blind anticipation
Long night moon would shine its light
On the soul here's celebration
Before cotton was king
Before sugar was queen
Rivers from the northland
Strode slowly to the sea
Giving birth to city lights
Like it was always meant to be
Ships sailing with foreign hands
And some who never made
Every child a woven basket
Every night is New Year's Eve
When cotton was king
And sugar was queen
Float on shady
The future is not afraid
Hold on shady cat
On the back of time's parade
Same souls have lived this place
Forever and a hundred years
Every dazzling race so close
A color disappeared
Tigers circling the tree
They make the butter on our bread
Some will say they had their day
There are some that didn't ever said
Cotton was king
And sugar was queen
Bias was a lady who waited
Cotton was king
