When I was a little 'itty bitty baby

My momma would rock me in the cradle

In them old... cotton fields back home
G C G
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
D G C
In them old cotton fields back home

When them cotton balls get rotten
G
You can't pick very much cotton
D
In them old cotton fields back home
G C G
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
D G C G
In them old cotton fields back home
