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

            E
It may sound a little funny
              A                    E
But you didn't make very much money
                                    B
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh when those cotton balls get rotten
         E
You can't pick you very much cotton
                                   B
In them old cotton fields back home

I was over in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In them old cotton fields back home
