Cotton Fields

Joe Dassin

Compositor: Leadbelly

When I was just a little-bitty baby
My mama used to rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home

Well, when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home

Well, I was down in Arkansas
And people were all asking
Whatcha signed up for?
In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

Oh, well, when them cotton balls get 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 Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was just a little-bitty baby
My mama used to rock me in the cradle
In them old, old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home

Oh, well, when them cotton balls get 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 Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home
