A
When I was a little bitty baby
               D               A
My mama would rock me in the cradle
                               E7  E
In them old cotton fields back home
        A
It was down in Louisiana
              D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana
             E7     E           A  D  A
In them old cotton fields back home

Chorus:
                D
Now, when them cotton bolls get rotten
           A
You can't pick very much cotton
                                E7  E
In them old cotton fields back home
        A
It was down in Louisiana
              D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana
             E7     E           A  D A
In them old cotton fields back home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
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

Chorus:
Oh, when them cotton bolls 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 a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
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
In them old cotton fields back home
