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

Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,

You can't pick very much cotton,

In them there ol' cotton fields at home,

             D 
Now it may sound very funny,

But you didn't make very much money, 
                                     A 
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
