Intro: A  E7  D  A

A
When I was a little bitty baby
              D              A
My mama would rock me in the cradle
                               E7
In them old cotton fields back home
       A
It was down in Louisiana
             D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            E7                 A
In them old cotton fields back home


               D
Now, when them cotton bolls get rotten
          A
You can't pick very much cotton
                               E7
In them old cotton fields back home
       A
It was down in Louisiana
             D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            E7                 A
In them old cotton fields back home

It may sound a little funny        
But you didn't make very much money                               
In them old cotton fields back home       
It may sound a little funny        
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home

I was home in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In the old cotton fields back home
I was home in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
