When I was a little itty bitty baby
My momma would Crock me in the craGdle
In them oGld cotton fields back hDome

When them Ccotton bolls get rotten
You can't Gpick very much cotton
In them oGld cotton fields back hDome
It was Gdown in Louisiana just about a Cmile from TexarGkana
In them oGld Dcotton fields back GhomeC  G

The story behind the song

"Cotton Fields" paints a picture of growing up in the rural South, evoking the hard work and simple life associated with cotton farming. It's a song about remembering humble beginnings and the landscapes that shaped one's youth. Though Creedence Clearwater Revival was known for their swamp rock sound, this track, appearing on their 1969 album Willy and the Poor Boys, leans into a more traditional folk sensibility. It plays like a nostalgic journey back to simpler times and open fields.
