(Huddie Ledbetter)

When I was a little bitty baby
My mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home.

Well, when of them cotton bowls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home
Yes, it was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home.

When I was a little bitty baby
My mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home.

Yes, again in them old cottonfields back home.
Wel,l in them old I said cottonfields back home...
