the little girl i once knew

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

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

Ohwellthose cotton bolls 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

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

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

Ohwellthose cotton bolls 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

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

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
