When I was a little bitty baby My mama done rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was back in louisiana Just about a mile from texarkana In them old cotton fields back home
Let me tell you now well got me in a fix I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits I had to walk a long long way to town Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions I gonna want to be right off for home
Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten When I got you baby, who needs cotton In them old cotton fields back home Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you A summer's day out in california It's gonna be those cotton fields back home
It was back in louisiana Just about a mile from texarkana Give me them cotton fields (it was back in louisiana) Let me hear it for the cotton fields (just about a mile from texarkana) You know that there's just no place like home
Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown In them old cotton fields back home
