Текст песни: Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song) + перевод

When I was a little bitty baby

My mama done rock me in the cradle

In them old cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

In them old cotton fields back home

Let me tell you now well got me in a fix

I caught a nail in my tire doing lickity splits

I had to walk a long long way to town

Came upon a nice old man well he had a hat on

Wait a minute mister can you give me some directions

I going to want to be right off for home

Don’t care if them cotton balls get rotten

When I got you baby, who needs cotton

In them old cotton fields back home

Brother only one thing more that’s going to warm you

A summer’s day out in California

It’s going to be those cotton fields back home

It was back in Louisiana

Just about a mile from Texarkana

Give me them cotton fields

(It was back in Louisiana)

Let me hear it for the cotton fields

(Just about a mile from Texarkana)

You know that there’s just no place like home

Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home

You should have seen their faces when they seen how I grown

In them old cotton fields back home
