Lyrics:Leadbetter Music:Leadbetter | |
When I was a little bitty baby | |
My Momma done rocked me in the cradle | |
In them old cottonfields back home | |
It was back in Louisiana | |
Just about a mile from Texarkana | |
In them old cottonfields back home | |
Let me tell you now well I got me in a mess | |
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickety splits | |
I had to walk a long long way to town | |
Came along a nice old man | |
Well he had a hammer | |
Wait a minute mister, can you get me some direction | |
I'm gonna wanna be right off for home | |
Oh let them cotton balls get rotten | |
I got you baby, who needs cotton | |
In them old cottonfields back home | |
Well it sure feels good to breathe the air back home | |
You should have seen their faces when they seen how I'd grown | |
In them old cotton fields back home |
