When I was a little bitty baby
My mama gone a-rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from the Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

And when them cotton balls was 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 the Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama gone a-rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from the Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back homе

And when them cotton balls was rotten
You can't pick vеry much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from the Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
