   When I was just a little bitty baby
  My mama would rock me in the cradle
  In them old cottonfields back home
  It was down in Louisiana
  Just about a mile from Texicana
  In them old cottonfields back home
  
  Well when them cotton folks get rockin'
  We don't pick very much cotton
  In them old cottonfields back home
  It was down in Louisiana
  Just about a mile from Texicana
  In them old cottonfields back home
  
  When Jess 'n I were just about knee high
  'N our daddy's corn was ridin' mighty high
  In them sweet old cottonfields back home
  Mama would pray to the lord to save our cattle
  'N get the mandolin down 'n make the chickens scuttle
  In them old cottonfields back home
  
  Well when them cotton folks get rockin' ...
  
  When Jake 'n Jonas was drinkin' whiskey
  We hit on the road up to Tennessee
  'N leave them old cottonfields back home
  But mama would wring her hands 'n start a-cryin'
  Sayin' her boys wouldn't leave their mother dyin'
  In them old cottonfields back home
  "No way Mama ..."
  
  Well when them cotton folks get rockin'
  
  (spoken: Then mama would take the mandolin down 'n start
  a-playing and a-dancing, playing just like this)
