[Verse 1]
D
When I was a little bitty baby
              G                 D
My mama would rock me in the cradle
                               A
In them old cotton fields back home
       D
It was down in Louisiana
             G              D
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            A                  D
In them old cotton fields back home
 
 
[Chorus]
D         G
When them cotton bolls get rotten
               D
You can't pick very much cotton
                               A
In them old cotton fields back home
       D
It was down in Louisiana
             G              D
Just about a mile from Texarkana
            A                  D
In them old cotton fields back home
