When I was a little baby,
My Mama would rock me in the cradle In them there, ol' cotton fields at home When I was a little baby, My Mama would rock me in the cradle In them there, ol' cotton fields at home Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten You can't pick very much cotton In them there, ol' cotton fields at home It was down in Louisiana, Just a mile from Texarkana In them there ol' cotton fields at home. Now it may sound very funny, But you didn't make very much money, In them there, ol' cotton fields at home Yes it might sound very funny, But you didn't make very much money, In them there, ol' cotton fields at home Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten You can't pick very much cotton In them there, ol' cotton fields at home It was down in Louisiana, Just a mile from Texarkana In them there ol' cotton fields at home. I was over in Arkansas, When the sheriff asked me What did you come here for ? In them there, ol' cotton fields at home Yes I was over in Arkansas, When the sheriff asked me What did you come here for ? In them there, ol' cotton fields at home Oh when them cotton balls bet rotten You can't pick very much cotton In them there, ol' cotton fields at home It was down in Louisiana, Just a mile from Texarkana In them there ol' cotton fields at home. |

Down the bay where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop But I'm sad to say I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town Down the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear `Akey' rice, salt fish are nice And the rum is fine any time of year Sounds of laughter everywhere And the dancing girls sway to and fro I must declare my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico |

A time, a time of strife
The place, the place is Ireland This Irish legend had it And the last rose of summer fell and all the young men of Ireland Were together to stake a blow For Ireland's freedom and Ireland's liberty There' songs for those who stayed at home and songs for those who went away and all o'er Ireland were sad Oh Danny boy the pipes the pipes are calling From glen to glen and down the mountain side The summer's gone and all the roses falling It's you it's you must go and I must bide But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny Boy I'll love you so But if you fall as all the flowers are dying And you are dead as dead you well maybe I'll come and fine the place where you are laying And kneel and say an Ave there for thee |
