Cotton Fields Lyrics - Bill Monroe

COTTON FIELDS 

WRITER HUDDIE LEDBETTER 

When I was a little bitty baby 

My mama would rock me in my cradle 

In those old cotton fields back home 

When I was a little bitty baby 

My mama would rock me in my cradle 

In those old cotton fields back home 

Oh, when those cotton ball get rotten 

You can't pick very much cotton 

In them old cotton fields back home 

It was back in Louisiana 

Just about a mile from Texarkana 

In them old cotton fields back home 

--- Instrumental --- 

When I was a little bitty baby 

My mama would rock me in my cradle 

In them old cotton fields back home 

When I was a little bitty baby 

My mama would rock me in my cradle 

In those old cotton fields back home 

Oh, when those cotton ball get rotten 

You can't pick very much cotton 

In them old cotton fields back home 

It was back in Louisiana 

Just about a mile from Texarkana 

In those old cotton fields back home 

In those old cotton fields back home...
