Watson, Gene - From Cotton To Satin Lyrics
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a long limousine
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
That's the year that old tractor broke down
And the dreamhouse I promised her still lies by a shadetree
Some old bricks and boards all around
She begged me to take her to see New York city
So I mortaged the farm and we were gone
But while we were there she took up with a rich man
I came back to the country alone
Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of
For today they struck oil on my land
She went from cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a lonely limousine
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
She went from cotton to satin

Watson, Gene From Cotton To Satin Comments
WOW, love this song....Gene is so great.
OH OH DARLIN.OH.!!!!.
Love Gene song, keep on signing with your great voice and I'll give you a listen. Thanks or the great music.
Paycheck by far did it better.
I hope this guy outlives me as it would break my heart to hear of his passing.
I agree!!
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a long limousine
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
I saved up enough to buy her one small diamond
That's the year that old tractor broke down
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree
Some old bricks and boards all around
She begged me to take her to see New York city
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone
But while we were there, she took up with a rich man
I came back to the country alone
---------
Now, there is the garden where she touched every flower
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand
If only she'd waited, she'd have more than she dreamed of
For today they struck oil on my land
She went from cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a lonely limousine
From cotton to satin, from Birmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
She went from cotton to satin.....

This is great. I have always like Gene Watson. Thanks for the share Brent.
+Carol Alexander Glad you enjoyed it Carol. He's one of my favorites. Thanks for listening.
Great upload Brent! Gene has such a unique and incredible voice. I never knew he did this one as I'd only heard the Johnny Paycheck version. I love to hear how each artist interpret the same song and this is a fine cut by Gene.
+Kalan Royal .... I had not heard this version before, either ~ Thanks Brent.
Gene is one of my all time favorites and seems to get better with age. Thanks Brent!!! Hope 2016 is going OK for you so far.
+shuffle877 Glad you enjoyed this one Jason. He sure has got one of my favorite voices. Things have been going alright here. Hope all has been well with you.
