(Original) "Gumball Machine" What Would You Do - Cotton Pickin Kids

[@cottonpickinkids]

(Lyrics) ⬇ Verse One: Could've bought me a ring from a gumball machine, even twenty-five cents from you would mean the world to me, could've bought a house in the middle of nowhere, had little me's running everywhere, but you had to mess it all up. Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so what would you do... oh what would you do... Verse Two: how would it feel when your sorry's mean nothing anymore begging for another chance when i'm already out the door and every time you hear them bells it'll remind you that i'm gone and swell. Oh well Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so, what would you do... oh, what would you do... Verse Three: well, he'll buy me a ring from a gumball machine just to be cute, then hold up that big diamond ring we'll live happily ever after have our own world to live just the both of us oh what do you think Chorus: what would you do if i said yes to a man that wasn't you what would you do if i moved on with my life and you weren't even in it i'll be walking down the aisle with my father to my right but you won't be the one waiting to say i do if so what would you do... oh what would you do... End: could've bought me a ring from a gumball machine

Thanks for the lyrics. Really appreciated. So I suspect if y'all keep at it... you will ALL indeed end up at the Opry. If I'm retired by then (God willing) I may just drive to TN with my venerable bride to see it. After my 4th listen I realize that this is an elocution challenge and you did really superb work on it. Writing it is one thing, but delivering it as you did (with what are now accomplished siblings) was grand! Also good... no... I mean GREAT stage presence from all of you! Again... the sisterly harmony (I love it), the super string and vocal work from the bassist (just right), the pitch perfect dobro, the beautiful banjo work and of course Savio aka. "Adam Steffey" Cipollari... . You guys are always in my prayers.

[@donald-e4v]

thank you so much for the lyrics! so well written!

[@spiritofvincennes]

Loved the tune. Because of my hearing I wasn't able to make out all the words. Thanks for posting the lyrics here at the top of the comment section. Very well written. Keep up the great work in bringing us beautiful and meaningful music. I listened to it a second time while reading the lyrics and it was much easier to understand the words, so thanks again.

[@duanepelerine478]

Lovely country poetry to amazing harmonies. Thank you for posting.

[@bobbatson9388]

Better than Nashville.

I'm an Old 73 Year Old Canuck from up in Ottawa, Canada. I Really Like Seeing a Nice Family Like Yours Sticking Together and Putting Out Very Nice Songs. Please keep writing and Singing these Nice Beautiful Songs Together. Your Parents Raised a Great Group of Kids. I Tip My Hat to Them.

[@NigelT-nf2k5]

They are great. I agree. 😄

[@glenorobinson941]

Couldn’t have said that better. I’m 40 this year. I’m an Australian. 😊

[@ronlast4310]

Great voices. Love the actions and mannerisms of the group, so humble and genuine. Hard to find that these days.

[@rockwilliams457]

That is a TOP 10 song!!! That is just waiting to be played on the radio right NOW!! Cut the record gang, and keep giving thanks to the Lord...we love you!

[@ethanbarnett8563]

Please Cotton Pickin Kids, DO NOT LET CORP. MEDIA commercialize you. We love you and the delicious music you bring to grass roots people.❤😢😢

[@Eliminator5555]

They're STELLAR!!!

[@end-days]

💯

[@lynnglidewell7367]

Slightly mellow dramatic I'd say. Media exposure is what will bring them success. Your statement is based more on you and your needs then it is on them theirs. That means it's self based.

[@rseitzkey1]

@@lynnglidewell7367 I feel he/she is concerned about how Media Exposure will affect these kids as people. There are very few example of who have benefited as a person from this definition of "success"..

[@lynnglidewell7367]

You realize of course Savio, Therese, and Cecilia, are each adults now not kids. It's just a name. They have to make adult decisions and take the adult course to success. Your definition of that seems to be rooted in them staying children forever.

[@davidbusby2550]

I think y'all are finding your groove... Therese has become quite the singer/ songwriter. Lovely harmony vocals.

[@20alphabet]

They're all great, but Cecelia's smile brightens the whole group.

[@invoxicated]

Yes she has a Million $ smile.🤩

[@JoeHenry1236]

I agree that she has a great smile but Thérése does it for me!

[@4xpipcounter9]

She is also so pretty, but seems to have a very humble side to herself.

[@KevlarX2]

Y'all have really ramped up on original music this year, and every one of them keep being better than the one before. That is a hit country tune right there. 🌟🏆

[@mickgerard6696]

Fantastic y’all. Beautiful music/lyrics and production. Better than anything coming out of Nashville. Traditional bluegrass like that touches Souls. Keep, it up

[@Eliminator5555]

Nashville is a literal dump and the so-called talent that gets platformed there is mostly a proverbial dumpster 🔥🔥🔥🔥. That being said, these kids should head that way and introduce the city to some real authentic music.

[@machomie]

perfect balance between vocals and instrumental background.

[@phillipstephens3079]

Right on brother 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Eliminator5555]

Y'all need a studio version of this up on all the streaming services.

[@rickl7604]

I really like the song. I would suggest a minor tweak to the arrangement though and either boost the vocals or take the instruments down just a little bit. Perhaps it is an issue with the microphone.

[@hartleyw6323]

I listened on headphones and they sounded fine.

[@MelanieBarrozo-u7s]

Depends on what you were listening with as well. Speaker setup makes a difference. Phones sound like crud comparably.

[@superfly3990]

The Cotton Picking Kids are wonderfully talented and gorgeous. Gumball Machine is your best yet and the way it's put together, Lyrics, Instrumentally and Vocally, I think that it's a Hit ! Great harmonies too. Fabulous job.

[@wardleslie4737]

**THREE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN HARMONY** What more could you ask for. I got one, Being there, No, Kidding aside. Alway's lifts my Spirits when I come back to this Video!!!!

[@ricky4001cs]

The instruments are superbly written and peformed, but its the three young ladies vocal performance that really shines here for me. Becoming top tier professionals at this rate is very near at hand. Congrats. I hope you all can carry on for a while and become something everyone is proud to say "I remember them when they were knee high to a grasshopper." Thats always rewarding for us old folk.

[@machomie]

Can't listen enough to this. What a beautiful song and performance. This has to hit the charts.

[@KevinShelby-f8w]

Should be on the radio . Wonderful

[@jerryyoung807]

So good. So enjoyable. What a future you kids have. May the Good Lord Bless you all.

[@corriesherman6507]

Gotta love KZbin for finding bands you would otherwise never hear. Here is a band full of young people that are very talented. There is hope for music's future in these young people.

Thèrése, you just wrote a hit song. You did a beautiful job. I can see this making the radio stations. Just Amazing.

[@ctb2814]

Wow, I missed the part where she wrote the song . Amazing!

[@Eliminator5555]

I agree!!!

[@powell29860]

Wow. This could be all breakout song. I'm so excited for yall's future

[@wardleslie4737]

PLEASE, don't think of me Weird (ok a little) but the Beautiful young lady playing the acoustic guitar is amazing with soft backing Vocals (The Cellos not so bad either) and that Radiant Smile, how could anyone, OH nothing. **YOU ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL**

Ne changer rien car vous etes magnifique Luis Enrique Casado

[@Joe-r3k3w]

This song is of higher quality than most of the stuff being played on the radio -- it takes an immense amount of talent and dedication to create an original like this. Invariably CPK keeps getting better every time I stop by to listen, and it sounds like you are gradually finding your own identity as artists! Keep going, and thank you! :)

[@KieranSaighir]

This family has continued to impress, but now they're reaching the level of the upper class of KZbin talent. There's nothing I can say about this song, but Wow!!!

[@glenpierce777]

Great song! This has the potential to be a big seller if marketed right and sent to a label. Well done Therese.

[@meedwards5]

Agree!

[@clubsky198]

Songwriting - Creativity comes from your Creator - this is a very creative song - the title sets the stage and the lyric tells tells the story. Very good.

[@surviainen6979]

Therese, you are a great songwriter. I hope we will hear a lot more music from you.

[@dlagrua]

This family band keeps getting better and better. Excellent song, well sung and played. I assume that is Therese on lead vocal. She has a marvelous voice. I'll rate this performance, outstanding, absolutely great.

[@christkallimanis4621]

The Holy Spirit was all over me when I was listening to you all. This is such a great song! It’s original songs like this that are going to skyrocket your recognition. Keep up the good work and God bless you all! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@lynnglidewell7367]

What in the world did you think this song had to do with religion? You have a very low threshold for The Holy Spirit getting all over you.

[@joekagerer]

Sounds great! I love the feel of this song, my old ears were having difficulty with the lyrics, I would love to see them in writing. Amazing talented family ❤

[@richardbertrand8895]

Beautiful Song and Words Thérèse, Your Dad must be very Proud of You for that Song.

The harmony is perfect and angelic...as only sisters can do. I love this song and the way you present it.

Just saw yall perform at the Washington Parish Fair! BLOWN AWAY AT THE TALENT OF THIS GROUP!!! Jaw-dropping talent!!!

[@randynix9805]

I am such a fan of anyone that can produce original music, Great original music that is. Wow, I must say that I love the way you put down your instrument and seriously took the lead on this one. Very beautifully done. A lesson in writing and producing for the rest of the group. Meaning that in a good way!! As you are all great, and the harmonizing can't be beat in my opinion. As stated earlier, the fans are looking forward to the 1st of many all-original albums. Thanks again to you all. Spring is right around the corner, so don't work to hard and forget to have fun.

[@jdlopez2065]

Your music is a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work kids, please. Therese, you've proven yourself to be quite the little songwriter. Unusually captivating lyrics in this song. Loved it.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Another original that is VERY DEFINITELY a WINNER!!! I dunno which one, or one(s) of you that the Good Lord has blessed with the gifts of both songwriting, and melody writing; but I'd say with GREAT CERTAINTY, that you have been blessed VERY, VERY, RICHLY; with all of the great words and melodies that y'all are constantly coming up with! Beautiful job on your harmonies once again, Terese, Cecelia, and Rosalinda! The late, great, Charlie Louvin once said: "Any song, if it's well written and has a good melody to it, is one that is always worthy of having great harmonies set to it, also;" and y'all have proven that time after time!! 🙂 Thank you all so much for putting out yet another example to this 57-1/2 year old, that the future of Bluegrass and Acoustic Music, is in: VERY GOOD, capable, and talented hands!! With Highest Regards & Continued Blessings Over All That You Do! Ron Abilene, TX.
