(Huddie Ledbetter)
|
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 well got me in a fix
|
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits
|
I had to walk a long long way to town
|
Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on
|
Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions
|
I gonna want to be right off for home
|
|
Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten
|
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
|
In them old cotton fields back home
|
Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you
|
A summer's day out in California
|
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home
|
|
It was back in Louisiana
|
Just about a mile from Texarkana
|
Give me them cotton fields
|
(It was back in Louisiana)
|
Let me hear it for the cotton fields
|
(Just about a mile from Texarkana)
|
You know that there's just no place like home
|
|
Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
|
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown
|
In them old cotton fields back home
|
