Lyrics

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
Let me tell you now, when I got me to bed
I caught a nail in my thigh doing Mickey Mouse dance
I had to walk a long, long way to town
Came along a nice tall man with me
He had a hat on
Wait a minute, mister, can you give me some direction?
I'm gonna wanna be right off for home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
Don't care if them cotton bolls get rotten
When I got you, baby, who needs cotton?
In them old cotton fields back home
But there's only one thing more that's gonna warm you
The sun will stay out in California
It's gonna be the cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Give me them cotton fields
Let me hear you call them cotton fields
You know that there's just no place like home
Oh boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You should have seen their faces when they sing "Hi-Ho"
In them old cotton fields back home
Oh, cotton fields
Oh, cotton fields
Oh, cotton fields
Oh, cotton fields
Oh, cotton fields
Oh, cotton fields
