When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home


It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home


Oh when them cotton bolls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home


It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home


When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home


It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home


Oh when them cotton bolls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home


It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home


When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home


It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

In them old cotton fields back home
