Thread Name: pickin' time
Subject: pickin' time
I was wondering if any one knows the lyrics to this old song, "Pickin" Time." I know it was recorded in the late 50's or early 60's by Johnny Cash, but I don't know who wrote it. I t is a song about rural poverty/ faith in God. Some of the lines I do remember... ...a jug of coal oil costs a dime, Gonna stay up late come pickin time... Any help will be warmly appreciated.
