When I was a little bitty baby
              A              E
My mama would rock me in the cradle
                               B7
In them old cotton fields back home
       E
It was down in Louisiana
             A              E
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            B7                 E
In them old cotton fields back home
 
               A
Now, when them cotton bolls get rotten
          E
You can't pick very much cotton
                               B7
In them old cotton fields back home
        E
It was down in Louisiana
             A              E
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            B7                 E
In them old cotton fields back home
 
       E
It may sound a little funny
        A                     E
But you didn't make very much money
                               B7
In them old cotton fields back home
       E
It may sound a little funny
        A                     E
But you didn't make very much money
            B7                 E
In them old cotton fields back home
 
      E
I was home in Arkansas
       A                         E
People ask me what you come here for
           B7                 E
In the old cotton fields back home
      E
I was home in Arkansas
       A                         E
People ask me what you come here for
           B7                 E
In the old cotton fields back home
