Lyrics:
We were walking in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away
We were walking in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
#Alabama #HighCotton #OfficialVideo - เพลง
Dear America,
We miss you.
You just said two words and the whole meaning of this goes far beyond emotions and feelings...But no too many can realize of it huh?
We really do. Love ya America
I never cared about color all those Years 🔥✍🏼Now l am WHITE 🔥Tv colonial pen black stink
vote blue in November to regain....
Mother's Day is coming up. My mom's favorite band was Alabama. We are from the mountains in Alabama. My mom was 1 of 12 children, raised picking cotton her entire childhood. She had a wonderful childhood and often told me that this song was her life ❤
Born in 78 and what I'd give to go back.. this is country music!!!💯💯❤️❤️🙏🙏 god bless America!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
2010 called they want their youtube comment back.
Im 13 years old! Alabama is what i call country! i love you
My favorite lyric from this song is, talking about Sundays, "Sometimes I think how long it's been, & how it impressed me then. It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work".
I can literally relate
I wish country music was still like this!!!
Me to
Me too
@@jameswalters836
Great minds think alike! I wish it waa like this!
I agree the new stuf just does not compare to this
I love Country-Pop, but Country-Rock sucks. We still have some of them in there. Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Zac Brown Band, Miranda Lambert.
Dear current-day Country artists, this is how you write a song about growing up on a farm...if you actually did grow up on a farm.
Harlowe79 amen
Harlowe79. Country songs like this had meaning. It was about Family-----closeness------caring. REAL music
might as well listen to christian cult music, Benny. I bet you'd like it!
Harlowe79 or write a song about being in the sun all day on the farm while you’re on a private jet lol
I can agree
This is basically an anthem to everyone who grew up on farming issues and learning strong family values. Greetings from the south... of Spain, Murcia.
I feel It's more about recognizing the benefits of hard work, no matter what kind of work it is..
@@unclej3542 I agree
There was actually a cotton mill named High Cotton in Ft.Payne where Alabama is from. I wondered if it was the inspiration for the song title.
Amen to that. There’s sort of an innocence and freedom of that lifestyle that resides deep in the heart of the people.
Respect from the south of China
I am 75 years old and still working.....by choice. My job as a peer support with homeless veterans gets me intertwined with many, many veterans, most of whom are not 40 years old. Sometimes when I am talking to a veteran I will say "man, you are walking in high cotton" after they have told me how their day has been. Most know what I am talking about, but sometimes I will run across someone who has never heard that phrase. When I tell him/her what it means they always break out in a broad grin. A life raised in the South.....knowthing like it!
Thats great man! Im a social worker in Canada! I work in mental health but will go work with veterans someday. God bless North America
507 people wouldn't know a good country song if it slapped them in the face. How could anyone give a thumbs down to Alabama? Like really? One of the greatest groups of all time.
754 now... disappointed...
@@MayIsVeryBored yeah it's sad they don't like this song
Parker Duncan yeah, they are what is wrong with society
@@MayIsVeryBored yeah im only 14 i love all of the older country my whole family loves it
I've not chopped cotton but I've chopped tobacco and worked in hay... And for a southern girl, this song means everything to me... Long live the South!!!
Best Band
Seriously one of the most talented groups. Ever. In any genre. These guys definitely deserve their place in history.
Hello👋how are you doing?
Agree 🇺🇸💪
THIS WAS A PRETTY WHTE PERIOD IN AMERICAN CULTURE.....WHATS WORST WAS THE BS BLK, WHT, JOUUUL MONOPOLY IN THE MEDIA FROM 1995- 2017....MODERN WOKE CULTURE INCLUDES EVERYBODY...
THIS SHTTT UP TILL AROUND 2017 WAS EXTREMELY RCIST AND EXCLUDED E EVERYBODY WHO WAS NOT WHTE BLK OR JOUUUL.....
I'm Irish and just discovered the band Alabama today. What a day it is. I love American country music and Irish so don't know how I have not come across them before but thank God I did today. God bless the South. I have always loved the Southern Americans. I'm off to Tennessee in two weeks and can not wait. Then off down to new Orleans for a few days.
Lisa McHugh also is Irish, & I love her version of this song as well. :)
John Smyth welcome 🙂 have a blessed time. I would love to see your beautiful country.
Josh, Country music is a blessing, It keep us connected to who we really are and the most important to our ancestors , i am from Dominican Republic and country is country everywhere you go. Greetings from New Jersey. .
Welcome aboard John, great to have you! Look around - there is a ton of really good classic country music on here - Mel Tillis, Johnny Lee, Dwight Yoakum, George Straight - I could go on and on. If you get a chance, come on over to Texas and take in some of the older dance halls (not these 'drug store cowboy' bars). Take care Brother and God bless.
I got Irish blood but my ancestors came over over with the first colonists
I worked the cotton fields as a child and it didn't hurt me any so for those that complain you should try working from sun up to sun down without a break....and quit complaining....and then sit your buts on a pew on sunday morning and thank your god for the things you have.
AMEN. I WAS HANGING TOBACCO WHEN I WAS 11. LOL.
Sounds good, except for the bullshit religion part.
❤❤❤ Amen
Good old Southern Country Rock Music. Nothing like it.
I am not from this continent and yet I love Southern culture. These country music make me feel warm inside in a way nothing ever did. Thank you sweet Southern people. God bless you.
God bless the American south
Y'all come and see us!
It's God's country and we are looking forward to the ⛰️ of my lord.
Greetings from 'the South' of Germany, folks!
Greetings from southern Kentucky USA
Cool
Greetings from Maine !!! God Bless those Fort Payne Alabama Boys In The Band !!!
Greetings from Oregon and a town called Independence, glad you enjoy America's music 🎵
Music like this cannot be bad for the world. Thank You Alabama
THE BEST COUNTRY MUSIC BAND EVER ❤!!!!!!!
Hey 👋 how are you doing?
This song is about how it was when I was a kid! Grew up in early 50's! I was poor, but didn't know it then! I had a roof over my head and pinto beans in my stomach, I was always happy! God Bless the USA!
God bless USA God bless everyone of you and we're still the South I don't know why they think we're all this much haters
I love this country from sea to shining sea I will die for it I will stand for it and I love it
@ I agree! I never felt poor, but had everything I needed! I grew up poor, but so glad I did! Love this song so so much!
Damn right! We got just what we need, n'thing more, n'thing less, and migh'ty proud about where I'm fr'm.
My favorite song by Alabama. Reminds me of my grandparents. Old times with them ARE NOT FORGOTTEN! 💗💗💗
I like this one, but I heard Roll On 1st when I was very young, so I'm partial. My mom's best friend is married to one of the guys in Alabama's brother. But I never met. They live 4 or 5 states away
Hello👋how are you doing my dear?
I cry when I hear this song. My granddad was a tobacco famer and lived outside Knoxville Tennessee. He was in the Marine Corps when he was a younger man and I think of him every time I hear this song
Where about? my papaw was a tobacco farmer outside of Knoxville also
My grandpa was a coal miner in Kentucky and served in WWII. They don't make them like that anymore.
Awe I'm sorry for your loss. Put me in mine of my dad and family. Hard job only the strong can survive. Music is the closest we can get to time machines.
My grandfather was a coal miner in Wyoming. Started at the age of 10.
Major respect for that man.
Always love Alabama!!! RIP Jeff Cook! You will be missed!
Hello👋how are you doing today?
This song still touches my heart ❤️
As many hits as they’ve had, still somehow the most underrated country band of my lifetime.
Hello👋how are you doing my dear?
Listen to that voice and that harmony. B E A utiful
I did pick cotton when I was kid. Hard work but honest work. I love this song and this group.
Roy Clark never picked cotton.
My father told me about growing up on my grandfathers farm in Kentucky and the square dances he attended when he was young. My grandfather was a Baptist minister and a tobacco farmer. He preached on Sunday but didn't depend on his neighbors to take care of him. My father served in WWII as a Sherman tank commander. He crossed Africa while fighting German Panzers and watching his friends die before entering Europe. I love the songs of the South. They remind me of my father and the sacrifices he and his friends made to fight for this country.
God bless
I’m from Tennessee now in Kentucky my great grandfather was a tobacco farmer in Tennessee and was a sergeant in ww2 he passed away doing what he loved and had a heart attack in a tobacco field in 1994 rip Thomas Henry Clinard
wonderful song.....brings back memories of the farm I grew up on in Oklahoma.
What makes Alabama so good is that they are absolutely real. Randy Owen is a country boy that grew up on Lookout mountain who also happened to be a tremendously gifted musician and story teller.
Who got a swelled head and a 50 million dollar fortune, but poor Teddy gentry only got 6 million. No equality!

@@yehudafinkelstein7504 Have you read Mark's book?> The High Road, it's a good read!, I own a copy
Such a blessing to live in country usa
Makes me think of my mom and her family and the stories she shared with me. They made it through the depression, even though her father died early into that nightmare. Her 4 bothers pushed through along with her mom and 2 sisters and made it through to WWII. This song just makes me cry. And yes -- it was high Tennessee cotton.
I'm a Southern country gal and it was the hardest thing we ever faced was leaving home .but my parents taught us right from wrong and raised us to be respectful and once grown thats what they raised us to do and yes we always know still as we love our parents they love us and of course we love going home to visit .
I still dress up in hand me downs thanks to family,and new clothes when I can get them to fit thanks to stores and my family.
@raymondscott9997gm however TH-cam does that. I’m not online much at the moment but try to be friendly to everyone. I work a job that meets lots of people and had different hours. I do makeup.
@@maryannproffitt44 It's great that you have a mix of hand-me-downs and new clothes to rock your style! Do you have a favorite outfit that makes you feel really good when you wear it?
2021 and still one of the best bands ever
Came here looking for a few good memories after hearing about his passing the other day.
Those were some good times for myself.
Hello👋how are you doing?
Thank you Alabama!
A nice song telling how the good ole days there was..
Greatest Country Band Ever
HERE IT IS 2022 WE ALL STILL LISTENING TO ALL THESE AWESOME COUNTRY SONGS JUST LOVE THIS LOVE ALL THESE PLAY LIST OF THE COUNTRY SONGS SINGERS AND BANDS THANK GOD FOR CLEAN SONGS LOVE THIS.
Im 17 years old and all this new country does not compare at the least bit to the old timey country music such as Alabama stonewall jackson kitty wells jonny cash and all the other great singers they really knew what country was i am a southern country gal at heart and down to earth i wish it would be more like the olden days when people said yes ma,m and no sir
Faith Hill is good same for Shania Twain. Lee Ann Womack, Brad Paisley, and Allison Kraus
But I get what your saying and agree with you on much of what you said
Ya cool
Oh. Im sorry ya i did i love George strait
"old timey" ?? good gracious! ;)
Can't beat Alabama for the best of Southern songs 😀✋💕
I didn’t grow up on a farm but the hardest thing was leaving home!❤
Country Life!!! Memories of vacation on the farm!!
Wish country was still this good.
South Texas here yall my momma told me about picking cotton and her fingers bleeding yeah I know now her pain omg what our parents did for us.....
Thank you Alabama...
This song shows how the people back then worked harder then the people these day. They had nothing given to them
im not from the south but i respect all you from the south and your history your an important part of this country
Thank you from the state of Georgia
Thats it Sir.
Howdy from Dallas.
Thanks from the great state of South Carolina😃
Thank you from Missouri and Florida
I understand what your saying and I somewhat agree Christ is dying but I think your wrong Christ still lives In Europe as well and yes some people need to find god I’m not religious but the morals religion brings are lacking in the world today
"OLD TIMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN" 👍👍👍👍
RIP JEFF COOK. 🙏🙏
I'm from Denmark. This type of music is very rare in my country. It's very american.... and very very good. I LOVE IT!
I’m from southern Kentucky I love this song soo much and it makes me sad that the world isn’t the way it used to be god bless you and Denmark

I remember this ole' song,my parents and grandparents.Comforting.
In good times my grandpa said we were "shitting in tall cotton"😜Anyone familiar with that phrase?
Extremely Outstanding!!! This takes me back to my childhood back in Mississippi..The good old days..Fantastic....🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🖐🏽🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
❤. Rest in Peace 🕊️🕊️. Jeff
Pray for my uncle. Gotten he's up in years and has the flue it's not looking good but I'm still not giving u on him
Being born in the south this song just speaks to me.
Life in the county is amazing!
I saw them in concert back in the day. I was way up high and had binoculars to watch with, I was looking at the lead singer and he turned and looked straight at me. Awesome band.
I miss the south so bad, been in Minnesota 17 years converting 1000s of people to love people of the south cuz we are good people. GO RAZORBACKS!
Absolutely one of the greatest songs 🎶🎶 Ever!!! I love Alabama…I grew up listening to them since the 70’s. Randy Owen & his two cousins, Teddy Gentry & Jeff Cook are amazing. Randy can tell a story like nobody else! Pure country music ~ the way country music should sound! Keep singing! I’m sure Jeff is singing away in heaven. ♥️♥️♥️
Hello Diana.. how are you doing?
Hello👋how are you doing today?
GOD BLESS THE SOUTH!!

For those folks that do not know what the phrase "Walking in high
cotton" means it means the taller the cotton the less you had to bend
over to pick it so the easier it was on your back
Priceless info right there
It also implies a better lifestyle because of a successful annual farm crop.
Hard to believe that there are some who don't know what the phrase "walking in high cotton" means, but indeed there are many who do not.
I would know between the ages of 3 and 6 years old I pick the cotton in Texas
High cotton also was more productive/profitable
As a kid i never even thought there was a music video for these songs. Songs were just songs. It wasn't like now were we have easy free videos.
ALABAMA!! The GREATEST Band ever! A great video! Wish we were back in the 80s and 90s again when they were rolling out hit after hit and times were somehow simpler.
Alabama hit #1in Billboard, 10-28-89. The lyrics inspired me. I don't do work on Sundays, either. God bless ya, Alabama cousins!
This was among my earliest favorite songs. It really lifted my mood every time I heard it. Alabama in general did that for me. 80s was the best decade for country music.
Thanks big guy here's a blast singing with you
I'm not going to act weird about it, I just love this song. That's it.
I am both delighted and saddened to find this great song on here. Delighted to have it in my life now, saddened that I missed out on enjoying it for so many years...Ol Sarge...
Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, and all the other so called "country" singers take. Notice. THIS IS COUNTRY. THIS IS REAL LIFE!! Proud to be from ALABAMA!! REST IN PEACE JEFF COOK.
Hello👋how are you doing today?
FOR REAL! fake country makes me mad
This is my husband favorite band I think they awesome singer they sing about real life
How can you not like this song, it is absolutely true, I remember being a child of the 70s and 80's❤️
Again got to say a guy in Texas Alabama should be proud great state and a great band
who else watched this for the millionth time? #HighCotton
Boxcarwillie S160 great song grew up in the 90's listening. From Ohio
Atleast!!!
I did
Me 🦋
Boxcarwillie S160 hell yeah me
Good songs never is never to old to listen to
Remembering back when this song was wrote and seeing this ugly world today, we were truly walking in high cotton back then.
I grew up listening to country then wandered into the Grateful Dead world. Just started listening to these guys again after 25 years and wondering why I ever stopped.

ALWAYS have been 😊
"Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced..."
There could not be a truer statement made, that one didn't realize until later in life, than that right there. I miss when THIS was music ... and when the ideals enshrined herein were accepted as normal.
Hello👋how are you doing?
RIP Jeff Cook...Thank you Jeff Cook for sharing your talents...You definitely made a mark on this green Earth...Bless
This song makes more sense in 2021 then when it was first released. Remembering the time when this song came out. I just hope that this song lasts the eons and I am not the only generation that enjoys this song.
I sure miss them.. One band you wish could stay young forever and continue..
They were the 80's for me... And the songwriting was brilliant on many of these songs....
Born & raised in the Carolinas!! Grew up in Myrtle Beach cruisin the Boulevard, the shag & 2 steppin Love your music!! ❤
That sounds like a blast! Cruising the Boulevard in Myrtle Beach and shagging must have been so much fun. The Carolinas have such a cool vibe. What's one of your favorite memories from those days cruising around Myrtle Beach?
So much of this shot in my home county of Williamson in Tennessee. How it has CHANGED so now, just like country music. Many-a-face I see in this are gone now - time moves on Thank You Alabama for taking on a stroll down memory lane.
When Sunday mornings rolled around we dressed up in hand me downs, just in time to gather with the church somtimes I think how long its been, and how it impressed me then...it was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.
greeneyeslinz .
Conway Twitty was a legend too now should definitely be included the upper post. The man had a golden voice and was very talented.
Absolutely love this song. Only 30 but get the times ... at least think I do and can appreciate this music
there are people who are born gifted and people who are genius this Alabama four are both gifted and genius with their kind of music, they have proven to be one of the best country music bands
We didn't know the times were lean,
Round our house the grass was green,
It didn't seem like things were all that bad,
I bet we walked a thousand miles,
Choppin' cotton and pusing plows,
And learnin' how to give it all we had.
As Life went on and years went by,
I saw the light in daddy's eye,
And felt the love in mamma's hands,
They kept us warm and kept us fed,
Taught us how to look ahead,
Now lookin' back I understand.
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old times there are not forgotten,
Those fertile fields are never far away,
We were walkin' in high cotton,
Old time there are not forgotten,
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.

Im Deaf man 42 yrs old I remember when i was a kid this video came on CMT (Country Music Television) My mom had a 2 huge speaker on side of tv I would just sit front of it pressed my ear on speakers
I always smiled when listening to alabama. Now that i have been to the south, i almost cry when i listen to alabama
Can we talk about the inclusivity of this video💖 as if I needed another reason to love alabama
Man I miss this USA...
It never existed, we whitewash our history.
And i miss USA 6 years ago
I miss the USA and I never left it...
Just got to hear this band and song in-person Saturday in st. Augustin FL awesome concert 💯💯
I m Brazilian like that music sound. Thank's Alabama
Amen heck today's so called county artists get lost on 30 acres wtf
Amen
Thanks for your moral talk
when i was a kid my daddy would sing alabama songs to me and my sister and we would sing along with him good days :) i will never forget
Australia, I grew up living down South, grew up poor, but would not change it! Music, love and family was what was important after crops! God Bless ya!
Hi Rhonda,hope you’re okay?
Still the country band of all time
I am 18 and I absolutely love both old and new country. It is possible to remember and appreciate what started country while still enjoying a more modern version of it.
I’ll never love new country it will never be better than what it used to be
It’s weird reading this 11 year old comment. You’re 29 or 30 now.
