COTTON FIELDS (Lyrics)

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 Texarcana,
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 Texarcana,
In them old cotton fields back home.
