When I was a little bitty baby my mama would rock me in 
my cradle
In them old cottonfields back home

When I was a little bitty baby...

Now when them cotton bowls get rotten you can't pick very 
much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home
[ guitar ]
When I was a little bitty baby...
When I was a little bitty baby...
In them old cottonfields back home
In them old cottonfields back home
