When I was a little baby
|
My Mama would rock me
|
in the cradle
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
When I was a little baby
|
My Mama would rock me
|
in the cradle
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
Oh when them cotton
|
balls bet rotten
|
You can't pick very much cotton
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
It was down in Louisiana
|
Just a mile from Texarkana
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
Now it may sound very funny
|
But you didn't make
|
very much money
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
Yes it might sound very funny
|
But you didn't make
|
very much money
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
Oh when them cotton
|
balls bet rotten
|
You can't pick very much cotton
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
It was down in Louisiana
|
Just a mile from Texarkana
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|

I was over in Arkansas
|
When the sheriff asked me
|
What did you come here for ?
|
In them there
|
ol' cotton fields at home
|
Yes I was over in Arkansas
|
When the sheriff asked me
|
