Tom: D (verse 1) D When I was a little baby, G D My Mama would rock me in the cradle, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, D When I was a little baby, G D My Mama would rock me in the cradle, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, G Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, D You can't pick very much cotton, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, D It was down in Louisiana, G D Just a mile from Texarkana, A D In them there ol' cotton fields at home, (verse 2) D Now it may sound very funny, G D But you didn't make very much money, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, D Yes it might sound very funny, G D But you didn't make very much money, A D In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, (chorus) G Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, D You can't pick very much cotton, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, D It was down in Louisiana, G D Just a mile from Texarkana, A D In them there ol' cotton fields at home, (verse 3) 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, (chorus) G Oh when them cotton balls get rotten, D You can't pick very much cotton, A In them there, ol' cotton fields at home, D It was down in Louisiana, G D Just a mile from Texarkana, A D In them there ol' cotton fields at home
