| When I was a little bitty baby, | |
| My momma would rock me in a cradle, | |
| In them o-o-old cotton fields back home. | |
| Well it was down in | |
| Louisiana, | |
| Just about a mile from | |
| Texarkana, | |
| In them o-o-old cotton fields back home. | |
| Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten, | |
| You can't pick very much cotton, | |
| In them old cotton fields back home. | |

| Louisiana, | |
| Just about a mile from | |
| Texarkana, | |
| In them o-o-old cotton fields back home.(guitar solo) | |
