Intro: Am D C G
C G Am D
Aunt Mattie bent a thousand times, down the long black rows
G C G Am C D
Then battled with the angry weeds, so little seeds could grow
Bm C G C
Come summer, Mattie pulled the snow from cruel and cutting bolls
G C Am D
She was patient pale and slender and was only eight years old
G C G Am D
Round 'n round the spinning wheel, beneath Aunt Mattie's boot
G C G Am C D
She recalled the soil and cotton seeds and summer's hopeful shoots
Bm C G C
Two winters spun out summer's threads, in rich and creamy folds
G C Am D G
And she had a bolt of cotton cloth when she turned ten years old
Chorus:
