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

Additional lyrics from Leadbelly
 
It may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
It may sound a little funny
But you didn't make very much money
In them old cotton fields back home
 
I was home in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In the old cotton fields back home
I was home in Arkansas
People ask me what you come here for
In the old cotton fields back home
