Those Old Cotton Fields Back Home
Welll, when I was a little bitty baby, Mommy used to rock me in her cradle In those old cotton fields back home.
Well, when I'm bound to Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana And those old cotton fields back home.
When those cotton balls get rotten,
You can't pick very much cotton In those old cotton fields back home.
