Cotton Fields (Creedence Clearwater Revival) - STING 21402   (Ralf and Fiona Bender)

(Opener): CIRCLE LEFT

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
ALLEMANDE LEFT your Corner TURN YOUR PARTNER RIGHT

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THAT RING
It was down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

(Figure 1 & 4): The HEADS STAR THRU and SQUARE THRU THREE

Find your Corner for a LEFT SWING THRU – GIRLS RUN LEFT, you BEND THE LINE – DIXIE STYLE from there

The BOYS CROSS RUN – and then RECYCLE – SWING your Corner, PROMENADE her back home

In them old cotton fields back home

(Figure 2 & 3): The HEADS you PROMENADE, travel HALFWAY around – on the other side – DIXIE STYLE

The HEAD BOYS TRADE – and then EXTEND, to a LEFT HAND WAVE – LEFT SWING THRU tonight

The, GIRLS CROSS RUN, BOYS RUN – CALIFORNIA TWIRL and all PROMENADE

In them old cotton fields back home

(Middle Break and Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home

ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THAT RING
It was down in Louisiana, just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home

(Tag): ALLEMANDE LEFT and SWING – In them old cotton fields back home

ORIGINAL LYRICS:

When I was a little bitty baby
My mama would rock me in the cradle,
In them old cotton fields back home;

It was down in Louisiana,
Just about a mile from Texarkana,
In them old cotton fields back home.

Oh, when them cotton bolls get rotten
You can't pick very much cotton,
In them old cotton fields back home
