A When I was a little bitty baby D A My mama would rock me in the cradle E7 In them old cotton fields back home A It was down in Louisiana D A Just about a mile from Texarkana E7 A In them old cotton fields back home
D Now, when them cotton bolls get rotten A You can't pick very much cotton E7 In them old cotton fields back home A It was down in Louisiana D A Just about a mile from Texarkana E7 A 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 It was down in Louisiana Just a mile from Texarkana In 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 It may sound a little funny But you didn't make very much money In them old cotton fields back home
Oh when those cotton balls get rotten You can't pick you very much cotton In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana Just a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home
I was over in Arkansas People ask me what you come here for In them old cotton fields back home I was over in Arkansas People ask me what you come here for In them old cotton fields back home
