The Cotton Song Lyrics

When I was a little baby
My mammie rocked me in the cradle
In them old cotton field at home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton field back home
Let me tell you now well got me in a fix
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickitey splits
I had to walk a long long way to town
Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on
Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions
I gonna want to be right off for home
Don't care if them cotton b**** get rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
Brother only one thing more that's gonna warm you
A summer's day out in California
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
Give me them cotton fields
{It was back in Louisiana}
Let me hear it for the cotton fields
{Just about a mile from Texarkana}
You know that there's just no place like home
Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I grown
In them old cotton fields back home
