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 bolls 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

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
