THE SECRET SISTERS
"King Cotton"
(Brandi Carlile / Phil Hanseroth / Tim Hanseroth / Laura Rogers / Lydia Rogers)

Oh, Alabama, I miss your southern charms
Oh, Alabama, I miss your lovin' arms
Oh, Alabama, Dixie's golden crown
Alabama's where I'm bound

[Chorus:]
Tie my shoes, barrette my hat
Roll out the welcome mat
I'm headed straight to my old home place

Try and stop me if you can
'Cause I'm lookin' for that man
King Cotton and Queen Anne's lace

Oh, Alabama, these northern days are dark
Oh, Alabama, won't you give me back my heart?
Bury me in southern mud when all my days are through
Alabama, I love you

[Chorus:]
Tie my shoes, barrette my hat
Roll out the welcome mat
I'm headed straight to my old home place

Try and stop me if you can
'Cause I'm lookin' for that man
King Cotton and Queen Anne's lace

[Instrumental verse]

[Chorus:]
Tie my shoes, barrette my hat
Roll out the welcome mat
I'm headed straight to my old home place

Try and stop me if you can
'Cause I'm lookin' for that man
King Cotton and Queen Anne's lace

[Outro:]
Try and stop me if you can
'Cause I'm lookin' for that man
King Cotton and Queen Anne's lace
