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 gonna 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 gonna warm you |
|
A summer's day out in California |
|
It's gonna be those cotton fields back home |
|
|
|
Just about a mile from Texarkana |
|

|

|
Let me hear it for the cotton fields |
|
(Just about a mile from Texarkana) |
|
You know that there's just no place like home |
|
|
Well boy it sure feels good to breathe the air back home |
|

|
In them old cotton fields back home |
