When I was a little bitty baby

My mama done rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

It was back 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 pretty 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 pretty 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

In them old cotton fields back home
