Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song) single version Lyrics by Beach Boys

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
I-it was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them o-old cotton fields back home
Let me tell you now, well, I got me in a fix
I caught a nail in my tire doing lickity split
I hadda walk a long long way to town (ah, ha, ha, ah)
Came along a nice old man, well, he had a hat on
Wait a minute, mister, can you give me some direction?
I'm gonna wanna be right off fer home

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama done rock me in the cradle
In them o-old cotton fields back home
It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them o-old cotton fields back home

Don't care if them cotton balls a-get rotten
When I got you baby, who needs cotton?
In them old cotton fields back home
Brother, only one thing more that's gonna warm ya
A summer's day out in California (bow bow ooo)
It's gonna be the cotton fields back home

(Do do do do do do do, do do do do do do do do do)

It was back in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
A-gimme them cotton fields (it was back in Louisiana)
Let me hear it for the cotton fields (just about a mile from Texarkana)
(Di-dit-do) You know that there's just no place like home

Oh boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You shoulda seen their faces when they seen how I'd grown
In them o-old cotton fields back home (bow bow bow oo)
