+++ cotton fields +++
[verse]
when i was a little bitty baby
my mama would rock me in the cradle
in them old cotton fields back home
when i was a little bitty baby
my mama would rock me in the cradle
in them old cotton fields back home
[chorus]
oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
you can’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
[verse]
when i was a wittle bitty baby
my mama would rock me in the cradle
in them old cotton fields back home
when i was a little bitty baby
my mama would rock me in the cradle
in them old cotton fields back home
[chorus]
oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
you can’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
[outro]
in them old, old, old cotton fields back home
in them old, old, old cotton fields back home
