When I was a little baby,
My mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields at home;
When I was a little baby,
My mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields at home.
CHORUS
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can’t pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields at home.
It was down in the Lou’siana,
Just a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields at home.
It may sound a little funny
But you didn’t make very much money
In them old cotton fields at home;
It may sound a little funny
But you didn’t make very much money
In them old cotton fields at home (Chorus)
It was home in Arkansas,
People ask me what you come here for,
In them old cotton fields at home;
I was home in Arkansas,
People ask me what you come here for,
In them old cotton fields at home. (Chorus)VIEW COMPLETE FEWER LYRICS
