Johnny Cash - Cotton Fields








(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
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,



(chorus)
                     G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
           D
You can't pick very much cotton,
                                     A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
         D
It was down in Louisiana, 
        G            D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
                    A               D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home,


(verse 2)
             D
Now it may sound very funny,
         G                      D
But you didn't make very much money,
                                     A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
              D
Yes it might sound very funny,
         G                     D
But you didn't make very much money,
                      A              D 
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,



(chorus)
                     G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
           D
You can't pick very much cotton,
                                     A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
         D
It was down in Louisiana, 
        G            D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
                    A               D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home,



(verse 3)
I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me,
What did you come here for,
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
Yes I was over in Arkansas,
When the sheriff asked me,
What did you come here for,
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,



(chorus)
                     G
Oh when them cotton balls get rotten,
           D
You can't pick very much cotton,
                                     A
In them there, ol' cotton fields at home,
         D
It was down in Louisiana, 
        G            D
Just a mile from Texarkana,
                    A               D
In them there ol' cotton fields at home,
