When I was a little bit of baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bit of baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old, old cotton fields back home
Well, it may not sound too funny
But we didn't make a very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
Well, it may not sound too funny
But we didn't make a very much money
In them old, old cotton fields back home
Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten
You couldn't pick a very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
I was down in Louisiana
'Round about a mile from a Texican
In them old, cotton fields back home
I was down in Arkansas
People said, "What did you come here for?"
From them old, cotton fields back home
I was down in Arkansas
People said, "What did you come here for?"
From them old cotton fields back home
Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten
You couldn't pick a very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
I was down in Louisiana
'Round about a mile from Texican
In them old, cotton fields back home
In them old, cotton fields back home
I said in them old, cotton fields back home
