COTTON FIELDS(THE COTTON SONG)

When I was a little bitty baby My mama used to 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 tyre A lickety-splick I had to walk a long long way to the town Came along a nice old man He had a hat on Hey wait a minute mister Can you give me some direction I'm gonna be right off for home When 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 ya A summer's day at California It's gonna be them cotton fields back home It was back in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana Give me them cotton fields Let me hear it for the cotton fields Oh there's just no place like home But boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home You should've seen their faces When they'd seen How I've grown In them old cotton fields back home
