"Cotton Fields" lyrics

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

("Sing to me boy")

Oh, when those 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
("Sing to me boy")

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle ("Where 'bouts?)
In them ol' cotton fields back home
("Do that one more time, boy")
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh, when those cotton bolls get rotten ("What?")
You can't pick very much cotton ("What?, Where?")
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana ("Right on")
In them old cotton fields back home

("Now, let the banjo handle it.")

In them old cotton fields back home

In them old cotton fields back home

Oh, when those 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
Old cotton fields back
Old cotton fields back home, back home
