E5 
When I was a little bitty baby 
   A5  
My mama would rock me in the cradle 
       E5                      B5 
In them old cotton fields back home 
      E5             E5 
It was down in Louisiana 
            A5 
Just about a mile from Texarkana 
       E5    B5                E5          A5 
In them old cotton fields back home 
         A5 
When them cotton bolls get rotten 
        E5 
You cant pick very much cotton 
                             B5 
In them ole cotton fields back home 
      E5              E5 
It was down in Louisiana 
            A5 
Just about a mile from Texarkana 
       E5   B5                 E5 
In them ole cotton fields back home
