WHEN I WAS A PRETTY LITTLE BABY
MY MAMA WOULD ROCK ME IN MY CRADDLE
IN THEIR HOME, COTTON FIELDS BACK HOME

IT WAS DOWN IN LOUISIANA
JUST ABOUT A MILE FROM TEXARCANA
IN THEIR HOME, COTTON FIELDS BACK HOME

----------------------chorus-----------------------------------
WELL WHEN THEIR COTTON BOARDS GET ROTTEN
YOU CAN'T PICK VERY MUCH COTTON
IN THEIR HOME, COTTON FIELDS BACK HOME
