When I was a little itty bitty baby
My momma 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
When them cotton balls 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 itty bitty baby
My momma 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
When them cotton balls 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
(Solo)
When I was a little itty bitty baby
My momma 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
In them old cotton fields back home
