(Huddie Ledbetter)

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

Well, when them cotton bowls get rotten you can't pick a 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.

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

In them old cottonfields back home...
