[Bm] [C#] [A] When I was a little bitty baby, my mama done rocked me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields [Em] back [E] home
This [A] was back in Louisiana, just [D] about a mile from a [A] Texarkana
In them old [Bm] cotton [E] fields [A] back home
Let me tell you now, I got me a fixer caught a nail
If my tired youth can lick it, it's blessed
I made [E] it to town, came [A] along a nice old man
When he had a hat [D] on, oh wait a minute Mr.
[Bm] Gannon, give me some [A] direction
I'm gonna [Bm] wanna be [E] right [A] off her horn
When I was a little bitty baby, my mama done rocked me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields [E] back home
This [A] was back in Louisiana, just [D] about a mile from a [Bm] Texarkana
In [A] them old [B] cotton [E] fields [A] back home
I [D] can't stand the cotton and all the deuterotism
When I got [A] you, baby, who needs cotton in them old [F#m] cotton [Bm] [A] fields [Bm] back [E] home
But there's [A] only one thing more that's gonna warm [D] ya
On a summer's day [Bm] out in California
[A] It's gonna [Bm] be them cotton [E] fields [A] back home
[Bm]
[E]
[A] You ain't [D] wanna pack up
[A]
[F#m] the can, next to the [A] damn cotton fields
[F#m] Tell me, [A] who's gonna pack up the [F#m] can, next to the damn [A] cotton fields
You know [F#m] that there's just no place [B] like [E] home
Oh [A] boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
[D] You should've seen their faces [Bm] when they knew how I'd grown
[A] In them old [E] cotton fields [D] back home
