Cotton Fields Lyrics


When I was a little baby, my mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them ole cotton fields back home
When I was a little baby, my mother rocked me in the cradle,
In them ole cotton fields back home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana, just a mile from Texarkana,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It may sound a little funny, but you didn't make very much money,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It may sound a little funny, but you didn't make very much money,
In them ole cotton fields back home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana, just a mile from Texarkana,

In them ole cotton fields back home
I was home in Arkansas, people ask me what you come here for,
In them ole cotton fields back home
I was home in Arkansas, people ask me what you come here for,
In them ole cotton fields back home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana, just a mile from Texarkana,
In them ole cotton fields back home
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, you can't pick very much cotton,
In them ole cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana, just a mile from Texarkana,
In them ole cotton fields back home

Huddie Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 - December 6, 1949) was an iconic American folk and blues musician, and multi-instrumentalist, notable for his strong vocals, his virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the songbook of folk standards he introduced. Although Lead Belly most commonly played the twelve-string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar.
