Cotton Fields  -------  The New Christy Minstrels


When I was a little baby,
My Mama would rock me in the cradle
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home
When I was a little baby,
My Mama would rock me in the cradle
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls get rotten
you can't pick very much cotton
In them there,ol'cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana,
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them there ol'cotton fields at home.

I was over in Arkansas,
When the people asked me
"What did you come here for?"
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home
Yes I was over in Arkansas,
When the people asked me
"what did you come here for?"
In them there, Ol'cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton ball get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them there, Ol' cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana,
Just a mile from Texarkana
In them there ol' cotton fields at home
Now it may sound a little bit funny,
But you didn't make very much money,
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home
Yes it might soun a little bit funny,
But you didn't make very much money,
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home


Oh when them cotton balls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton
In them there, ol'cotton fields at home
It was down in Louisiana
Just a while from Texarkana
In them there ol'cotton fields at home
