Cotton Fields (1958)

Cotton Fields(1958) - Harry Belafonte

When I was a little baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

When I was a little baby

My mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Now it may sound very funny

But you didn't make very much money

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Yes it might sound very funny

But you didn't make very much money

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

I was over in Arkansas

When the sheriff asked me

What did you come here for

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Yes I was over in Arkansas

When the sheriff asked me

What did you come here for

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in louisiana

Just a mile from texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

When I was a little baby

My Mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

When I was a little baby baby

My Mama would rock me in the cradle

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Oh when them cotton balls get rotten

You can't pick very much cotton

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

It was down in Louisiana

Just a mile from Texarkana

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

In them there ol' cotton fields at home

Yeah
