Cotton Fields:The Highwaymen.
#13 in 1961.
(There are other verses to the original
but this is the Highwaymen's version.)
CHORUS:
When I was a little bitty baby,
my Mama would rock me in the cradle,
in them old cotton fields back home.
When I was a little bitty baby,
my Mama would rock me in the cradle,
in them old cotton fields back home.
#1.
Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten,
you can't pick very much cotton,
in them old cotton fields back home.
It was down in Louisiana,
just about a mile from Texarkana,
and them old cotton fields back home.
CHORUS:
When I was a little bitty baby,
my Mama would rock me in the cradle,
in them old cotton fields back home.
When I was a little bitty baby,
my Mama would rock me in the cradle,
in them old cotton fields back home.
#2.
Oh, when them cotton balls get rotten,
you can't pick very much cotton,
in them old cotton fields back home.
It was down in Louisiana,
just about a mile from Texarkana,
in them old cotton fields back home.
OUTRO:
In them old cotton fields back home.
In them old cotton fields back home.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
