When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home


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

In them old cottonfields back home

Oh when them cotton balls get rotten

You couldn't pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home


It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home


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

In them old cottonfields back home

Oh when them cotton balls get rotten

You couldn't pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home


It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home


In them old cottonfields back home
In them old cottonfields back home
