Lyrics

When I was a little baby, my mother rocked me in the cradle In them ole cotton fields at home When I was a little baby, my mother rocked me in the cradle In them ole cotton fields at home Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton In them ole cotton fields back home It was down in Lou'siana, just a mile from Texarkana In them ole cotton fields back home It may sound a little funny, but you didn't make very much money In them ole cotton fields back home It may sound a little funny, but you didn't make very much money In them ole cotton fields back home Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton In them ole cotton fields back home It was down in Lou'siana, just a mile from Texarkana In them ole cotton fields back home I was home in Arkansas, people ask me what you come here for In them ole cotton fields back home I was home in Arkansas, people ask me what you come here for In them ole cotton fields back home Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton In them ole cotton fields back home It was down in Lou'siana, just a mile from Texarkana In them ole cotton fields back home Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton In them ole cotton fields back home It was down in Lou'siana, just a mile from Texarkana In them ole cotton fields back home
