When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
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.

Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home.
It was down in Louisisana
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
And them old cotton fields back home.

It may sound a little funny,
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home.

In them old cotton fields back home.

Just about a mile from Texarkana,
And them old cotton fields back home.

Now when them cotton bowls get rotten

In them old cottonfields back home
It was down in Louisiana
just about a mile from Texacana
In them old cottonfields back home

Let me tell you now well

I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey
splits
I had to walk a long long way to town
Came upon
a nice old man well he had a hat on
Wait a minute mister
can you give me some directions
I gonna want to be right
off for home

Don?t care if them cotton balls get
rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
In them
old cotton fields back home
Brother only one thing more
that?s gonna warm you
A summer?s day out in california/>It?s gonna be those cotton fields back home

It was
back in louisiana
Just about a mile from texarkana/>Give me them cotton fields
(it was back in louisiana)/>Let me hear it for the cotton fields
(just about a mile
from texarkana)
You know that there?s just no place like
home

Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air
back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I
grown
In them old cotton fields back home
