"Cotton Fields" is a traditional American folk song that originated in the southern United States in the 19th century. It was later popularized by folk singer Lead Belly in the 1940s.
The lyrics of the song describe the experiences of African American laborers working in cotton fields during the era of slavery and sharecropping. The lyrics also touch on themes of hardship, longing, and nostalgia for the South.
The song has been covered by many different artists over the years, including The Beach Boys, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Johnny Cash.
Lead Belly's version of "Cotton Fields" features his distinctive vocals and guitar playing, as well as a chorus of harmonizing singers.
The song is often associated with the American South and the legacy of slavery and racism in the region. It has been interpreted as a powerful commentary on the experiences of Black Americans and the ongoing struggle for equality.
"Cotton Fields" has also been used in popular culture in various ways, including in films such as "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "The Help."
Lead Belly's version of "Cotton Fields" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013, recognizing its enduring cultural significance and impact on American music.

[@mangusto765]

É incrível que esta canção não tenha sido uma do famossíssimo "The Best of Creedence Clearwater Revival" . Outra injustiçada foi "Camaleon".
