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 te arkana

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 te arkana

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 te arkana

you can't pick very much cotton
