[Verse 1]

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

[Chorus]

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

[Verse 2]

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home

[Chorus]

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

[Verse 1]

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

[Chorus]

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

[Verse 2]

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home

[Chorus]

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

[guitar solo]

[Verse 1]

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

[Chorus]

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

In them old cotton fields back home
