Cotton Fields

When I was a little bitty baby My mama done rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home Let me tell you now well, I got me in a fix I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits I had to walk a long, long way to town I came upon a nice old man well, he had a hat on Wait a minute, mister, can you give me some directions? I'm gonna want to be right off for home When I was a little bitty baby My mama done rock me in the cradle In them old cotton fields back home It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cotton fields back home Don't care if them cotton balls get rotten When I got you, baby, who needs cotton? In them old cotton fields back home Brother, only one thing more that's gonna warm you A summer's day out in California It's gonna be those cotton fields back home It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana Give me them cotton fields (It was back in Louisiana) Let me hear it for the cotton fields (Just about a mile from Texarkana) You know that there's just no place like home Oh, boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown In them old cotton fields back home
