When I was a little bitty baby
                  A5          E5
My mama would rock me in the cradle
                              B5
In them old cotton fields back home
      E5
It was down in Louisiana
           A5               E5
Just a mile from Texarkana
           B5                       E5
In them old cotton fields back home

            E5
It may sound a little funny
              A5                    E5
But you didn't make very much money
                                    B5
In them old cotton fields back home
E5
It may sound a little funny
              A5                    E5
But you didn't make very much money
           B5                       E5
In them old cotton fields back home

Refr?o:
             A5
Oh when those cotton balls get rotten
         E5
You can't pick you very much cotton
                                   B5
In them old cotton fields back home

      E5
It was down in Louisiana
      A5                   E5
Just a mile from Texarkana
       B5                            E5
In them old cotton fields back home

I was over in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In them old cotton fields back home
I was over in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In them old cotton fields back home
