A
When I was a little bitty baby

              D              A
My mama would rock me in the cradle

                               E7   E
In them old cotton fields back home

       A
It was down in Louisiana

             D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana

            E7     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

                               E7   E
In them old cotton fields back home

       A
It was down in Louisiana

             D              A
Just about a mile from Texarkana

            E7     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 * Alternate: Capo II A = G D = C E7 = D7 E = D Set8
