Cotton Fields

When I was a little baby,

My Mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

When I was a little baby,

My Mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana,

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home.

Now it may sound very funny,

But you didn't make very much money,

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

Yes it might sound very funny,

But you didn't make very much money,

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana,

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home.

I was over in Arkansas,

When the sheriff asked me

"What did you come here for ?"

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

Yes I was over in Arkansas,

When the sheriff asked me

"What did you come here for ?"

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there, ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana,

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home.
