Cotton Fields Lyrics


When I was a little baby
My mother'd rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby
My mother would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields at homeOh when them cotton balls get rotten
You couldn't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana
"Just a mile" from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at homeIt may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields at home
It may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields at homeOh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana
"Just a mile" from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at homeI was poor in Arkansas
People asked me "What you come here for?"
In them old cotton fields at home
I was poor in Arkansas
People asked me "What you come here for?"
In them old cotton fields at homeOh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana
"Just a mile" from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields at home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

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.
