When I was a little bitty baby'

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton field back home

It was down in Louisiana'

Just about a mile from Texarkana'

In them old cotton field back home

Oh' when them cotton boll get rotten'

You can ' t pick very much cotton

In them old cotton field back home

It was down in Louisiana'

Just about a mile from Texarkana'

In them old cotton field back home

When I was a little bitty baby'

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton field back home

It was down in Louisiana'

Just about a mile from Texarkana'

In them old cotton field back home

Oh' when them cotton boll get rotten'

You can ' t pick very much cotton

In them old cotton field back home

It was down in Louisiana'

Just about a mile from Texarkana'

In them old cotton field back home

When I was a little bitty baby'

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton field back home

It was down in Louisiana'

Just about a mile from Texarkana'

In them old cotton field back home
