Tom: D
(verse 1)
D
When I was a little baby,
G D
My Mama would rock me in the cradle,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
D
When I was a little baby,
G D
My Mama would rock me in the cradle,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
D
You can't pick very much cotton,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
D
It was down in Louisiana,
G D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
A D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home,
(verse 2)
D
Now it may sound very funny,
G D
But you didn't make very much money,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
D
Yes it might sound very funny,
G D
But you didn't make very much money,
A D
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
(chorus)
G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
D
You can't pick very much cotton,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
D
It was down in Louisiana,
G D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
A D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home,
(verse 3)
I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me,
What did you come here for,
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
Yes I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me,
What did you come here for,
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
(chorus)
G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
D
You can't pick very much cotton,
A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
D
It was down in Louisiana,
G D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
A D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home
