When I was a little baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields at home
'Cause when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
Way down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home
You may think it's very funny
But we never didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields at home
Yes, you may think it's very funny
But we never didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields at home
'Cause when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
Way down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby
My mama would rock me in my cradle
In them old cotton fields at home
