Lyrics

When I was a little pretty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In a-them old cottonfields back home
But when I became a little older
My daddy would take me on his shoulder
In a-them old cottonfields back home
'Cause when the cotton bolls get rotten
You can pick a very much cotton
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Way down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Sing! La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
You may think it is very funny
But we didn't make much money
In a-them old cottonfields back home
You may think it is very funny
But we didn't make much money
In a- them old cottonfields back home
'Cause when the cotton bolls get rotten
You can pick a very much cotton
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Way down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Sing! La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
When I was a little pretty baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In a-them old cottonfields back home
But when I became a little older
My daddy would take me on his shoulder
In a-them old cottonfields back home
'Cause when the cotton bolls get rotten
You can pick a very much cotton
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Way down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In a-them old cottonfields back home
Sing! La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
