[Ab]
In them old [Eb] cotton fields back home
It [Ab] was back in Louisiana
But just [Db] about a mile from Texas [Ab] again
In those old
[Bbm] cotton [Eb] fields [Ab] back home
But let me tell you now
I got me a fixer caught a nail
In my tire due to lickety-split
I had to walk a long, long way [Eb] to town
Came [Ab] along a nice old man with me
He had a hat [Db] on a whip
Said, [Ab] can you give me some direction
I'm gonna [Bbm] wanna be [Eb] right off [Ab] your home
Don't care if them [Db] cotton balls get rotten
When I got [Ab] you, baby, who needs cotton
In them [Cm] [Fm] old [Ab] cotton [Bbm] fields back home
[Eb] Brother, [Ab] only one thing more that's gonna warn [Db] ya
A summer day [Bbm] out in California
[Ab] It's gonna [Bbm] be them cotton [Eb] fields [Ab] back [Db] [Ab] home
[Bbm] [Ab] [Bbm] [Ab]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Ab] It [Db] was back in Louisiana
But just [Ab] about a mile from Texas [Fm] again
I gave me [Ab] them cotton fields
[Fm] Now I'm here [Ab] for the cotton [Fm] fields again
[Ab] I [Fm] said, there's just no place [Bbm] like home
[Eb] But [Ab] boy, it sure feels good to breathe the air back home
You [Db] should've seen them when [Bbm] they seen how I'd grown
In [Ab] them old [Bbm] cotton [N] fields
