Lyrics
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cottonfields back home
When I was a little bitty baby…
Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten
You couldn’t pick very much cotton
In them old cottonfields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cottonfields back home
It may sound a little bit funny
But you dind’t make very much money
In them old cottonfields back home
It may sound a little bit funny…
Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten…
When I was a little bitty baby…
Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten…
