When I was a pretty little baby

My mama would rock me in my cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

Now, when them old fields get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them old cotton fields back home

It was down in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home
