Cotton Fields chords by Leadbelly

This is the version from WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT cd.

    As Leadbelly plays this he speeds up slightly all the way through the song,

    Think of an old steam train starting up and gathering pace, slowly building,

    but be careful, you don't want to get too fast by the end, pace is everything.


    The words are right for this version, but if I've missed any glaring mistakes,

    let me know and I'll sort them out

     When I was a little baby,   My Mother rocked me in the cradle
              A                    E
     In them old cotton fields at home
             A                                    D               A
     When I was a little baby,   My Mother would rock me in the cradle

                       D                                     A
     Aaah, When them cotton bolls get rotten,  You couldn't pick very much cotton
              A                    E

              A    E               A
     In them old cotton fields at home

     It may sound a little funny,   But you didn't make very much money
              A                    E
     In them old cotton fields at home
              A                                     D              A
