Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cotton Fields Lyrics






[Chorus 1:]
When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

[Chorus 2:]
It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

[Chorus 3:]
Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home.

[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 3]
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2]

    My father passed away a few months ago and when I miss him I play CCR to remember his happy times of him dancing and singing even on his hospital bed where I last saw him. It makes me smile just remembering him sing this song as if he was a young man again in no pain. Thank you CCR and music for giving that to him #musicishealing

    I knew that . When I was young ccr was from san Fran. CA . pretending to be a back woods down south country rock band. But damn it they sounded good and pulled it off

  37. C.... J....

    But... Louisiana is just about THIRTY MILES from Texarkana. Huddie Ledbetter AKA Leadbelly wrote the song, and he shoulda known this "Just about a mile" business was poetic license at best. ;-)

  38. h.... p....

    I really like this sing😍😍

  39. L.... F....

    Why the f**k do people dislike such great masterpieces?

    L.... F....

    Beacuse they are stupid cunts, long live CCR

    My mom used to sing this song to me all the time...god damn i miss that...love you mama

  44. B.... T....

    I love this song very much. I loved leadbelly and to find that CCR's version of this song was pleasing.

  45. m.... z....

    We much to be simple wild

  46. C.... Z....

  48. K.... W....

    Good old country song

  49. P.... D....

    Down south...at a certain time of year, millions of balls of cotton blow across the highway like some kind of magic...it's surreal. Supposedly, new cars with object detection sensors & auto braking & collision avoidence have to have their sensors calibrated to ignore things that small so they don't get triggered by cotton...still gotta wonder if a big enough bunch would make the car panic though?

  50. b.... e....

    Ida is down in Louisiana just about a mile from texarkana

  51. C.... S....

    I used to volunteer at a vfw post and I served a bunch of Vietnam vets food and they used to play this on the juke box while playing pool was one of the best times in my life

  52. M.... Y....

    John Fogerty=GREATEST SINGER IN THE WORLD!!!

  53. g.... ....

    Fwiw, the Louisiana border is about 30 miles from Texarkana.

  54. A.... c....

    back home i have olive fields

  55. J.... l....

    In our world were everything revolves around politics and bad news. Where people can't seem to get along with each other. It's kind of nice to stop and listen to a free spirited song and forget about it all.

  56. j.... m....

    i dont speak english but i love creedence

    j.... m....

    Yet you just typed English

  57. o.... ....

    My father would always sing this song when I was young..will always remind me of him.

  58. R.... Q....

    Are the people in the thumbnail alive

  59. F.... D....

  66. G.... ....

    Recently lost my dad but he loved singing this song while playing the guitar.

  67. M.... D....

    Gotta love this

  68. W.... o....

    This is a lot tighter than the Leadbelly version. The earlier one isn't even syncopated; it's just klunky as hell.

    Like he was rhythm deaf. It is entirely possible, btw.

  69. N.... K....

    When I was a little bitty baby
    My mama would rock me in the cradle
    In them old cotton fields back home

    It was down in Louisiana
    Just about a mile from Texarkana
    In them old cotton fields back home

    Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
    You can't pick very much cotton
    In them old cotton fields back home

    It was down in Louisiana
    Just about a mile from Texarkana
    In them old cotton fields back home

    When I was a little bitty baby
    My mama would rock me in the cradle
    In them old cotton fields back home

    It was down in Louisiana
    Just about a mile from Texarkana
    In them old cotton fields back home

    Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
    You can't pick very much cotton
    In them old cotton fields back home

    It was down in Louisiana
    Just about a mile from Texarkana
    In them old cotton fields back home

    When I was a little bitty baby
    My mama would rock me in the cradle
    In them old cotton fields back home

    It was down in Louisiana
    Just about a mile from Texarkana
    In them old cotton fields back home

    In them old cotton fields back home

  84. a.... d....

    2019 everyone??

  85. D.... M....

    Every mornin' I listen to it. I'm 13 so my friends find it weird for me to listen to this type of music. Nevermind song is awesome

  86. c.... ....

    Theres nothing better than people playing their banjos at the bayou, drinking moonshine and eating jambalaya. Long life to rock and roll. ✌

  87. B.... B....

    I'm not a great fan of the Beach Boys but their version is a lot better.

    B.... B....

    The Johnny Cash version is pretty good too!

    B.... B....

    @Robert Walton .. Not bad but pointless .. Hope he didn't say he wrote it like he he said he wrote " Folsom Prison Blues ". Because " Folsom " it's juste the 1948 Muddy Waters' tune : " Can't be Satisfied ". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CakqPuwFAIc

  88. J.... ....

    CCR's music was a true gift from God.

  89. W.... K....

    The best version of this track by far, what a band👌

  90. M.... G....

    It’s amazing how many bands covered Lead Belly songs, whether they were old folk songs or were written by him.

  91. f.... f....

    THIS SONG SOOTHES MY SOUL

  92. B.... C....

    I grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains a bit south of where CCR is from. I used to hike old deer trails through the redwoods by myself. I swear I saw these 4 coming the other direction towards me single file. I didn't know who they were at the time. I was frightened by them as rarely did other humans go up those remote trails and we kids were taught to fear hippies should we encounter them. I tore off running back home.
    Years later in the Navy we docked in Oakland. I walked around the city nothing to do but stretch my legs. I came upon the Duck Kee market, thinking, "I know I've seen this place somewhere before". Some time later I realized it was the Willie and the Poor Boys album cover.

  93. L.... D....

    It's country music?

  94. S.... S....

    This is a song my dad loved, he always sang it to us. I miss him, wish he was around to see all his beautiful grandkids. Thanks for this song been here, good memories❤️

  95. A.... B....

    I was looking all my life for this song since i was a child🎵 ❤❤😍😍

  96. D.... B....

    I love this Band ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍

  97. B.... G....

    Los Apson tiene una versión en español que es más parecida a la que canta don Ramón, personalmente es mi canción favorita
