- When I was a little baby
my mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them old, old Cotton Fields at home.
- When I was a little baby
my mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them old, old Cotton Fields at home.
- Oh, when them cotton bolls
got rotten you couldn't pick very much cotton,
In them old, old Cotton Fields at home.
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana,
And them old, old Cotton Fields at home.
