Cottonfields

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

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

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
