When I was a little baby my mother would rock me in the cradle
In them old, cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana just a mile from Texarkana
In the old, old, cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana just a mile from Texarkana
In them old, old, cotton fields at home
It may sound a little funny but you didn't make very much money
In them old, cotton fields at home
It may sound a little funny but you didn't make very much money
In the old, old, cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana just a mile from Texarkana
In them old, old, cotton fields at home
I was over in Arkansas people ask me what you come here for
In them old, cotton fields at home
I was over in Arkansas people ask me what you come here for
In them old, old, cotton fields at home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana just a mile from Texarkana
In them old, old, cotton fields at home
