Lyrics:

When I was a little bitty baby my mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby my mommy would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
Well when of them cotton bolls get rotten you can't pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home
Yes it was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home
[ steel ]
When I was a little bitty baby...
Yes again in them old cottonfields back home
Well in them old I said cottonfields back home
