When I was a little, bitty baby
My mama used to rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When them cotton bolls get rotten
We don't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was just sixteen
When on down in New Orleans
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When them cotton bolls get rotten
We don't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home, alright
Well, it ain't very funny, but
We don't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
Down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When them cotton bolls get rotten
We don't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When them cotton bolls get rotten
We don't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
When them cotton bolls get rotten
We don't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home, home
