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
