I'm gonna be standing in high cotton one fine day I'm gonna be standing in high cotton one fine day I'm gonna be standing in high cotton All my trials gonna be forgotten Standing in high cotton one fine day Well, I've been so low down (ain't got a lousy...) I've been so low, I ain't got a lousy dime But one of these days I hope and pray That things are gonna go my way I'll be standing in high cotton one fine day Please, Lord, hear my plea Please, Lord, hear me I got mouths to feed I got bills to pay It's like rolling a stone up a mighty hill I started rolling one day and I'm rolling still But I'll be standing in high cotton one fine day I'll be standing – have mercy I'll be standing in high cotton one fine day (You and me baby – won't we have a time then!) I'll be standing in high cotton All my trials gonna be forgotten Standing in high cotton one fine day...
