Cotton Fields - Lyrics - Eddy Arnold

He was a so-called Nashville sound innovator of the late 1950s, and scored 147 songs on the Billboard country music charts, second only to George Jones. He sold more than 85 million records. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame , Arnold ranked 22nd on Country Music Television's 2003 list of "The 40 Greatest Men of Country Music."

When I was a little bitty baby My mama would rock me in the cradle In them old cottonfields back home When I was a little bitty baby... Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten You couldn't pick very much cotton In them old cottonfields back home It was down in Louisiana Just about a mile from Texarkana In them old cottonfields back home It may sound a little bit funny But you dind't make very much money In them old cottonfields back home It may sound a little bit funny... Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten... [ banjo ] When I was a little bitty baby... Oh when them cotton bowls get rotten...
