Lisa commented: “thanks for taking me to the Delta this morning…” + “if i get my visa soon, i might make it back to the delta before the cotton’s harvested.. if so, i’ll be taking lots of photos. a friend whose husband is a cotton entomologist had zero cotton this year.. everyone planted corn. that must look so strange to see those fields in anything except cotton!” + and in my head i am ‘ a little bitty baby and my momma is a rockin’ me in my cradle…’ only it might have been jenny rockin’ me!’

frizz-reply: dear Lisa, your article “remembering jenny” is so heart breaking! I’ll play the song on my guitar for you: ~ 9 MB on soundcloud, maybe faster to join than a youtube video with much more MBs (and another plug in software)?

When I was a little, bitty baby my mama would rock in those cotton fields back home …. I always enjoyed this song. I had no idea what a cotton field was but the tune was catchy. I can’t imagine pickin’ cotton. Hot and long hours …. it was brutal.
Those farmin’ songs were what kept the pickers going.
Nice post …..

I am descended from plantation owners who grew cotton, from slaves who worked the cotton fields, and from poor Appalachian whites who had to pick cotton to earn a living. Interesting, isn’t it? Thanks for posting.

This was always a fun song to sing. I had no clue what a cotton field was. It had a catchy beat and that’s all I cared about.
Very popular song in churches, too.
