The Beach Boys - Cotton Fields (The Cotton Song) lyrics

[Verse] 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 lickitey 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 [Outro] 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
