Cotton Fields

Huddie Ledbetter - Anne Bybee

© Folkways Music, BMI

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

Well when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
[ instrumental ]
When I was a little bitty baby...
Well when them cotton bolls get rotten...
In them old cotton fields back home
