Some authors speculate it derives from cockle, a yonic fertility symbol, others suggested it entered Southern US vernacular during the period of French rule (of Louisiana) from Cajun Frenchcoquille(“shell”) (itself the source of cockle), which in 18th and 19th century slang meant the vulva.
Noun
cock (pluralcocks)
(Southern US, where it is now rare and dated; and African-American Vernacular, where it is still sometimes used) Vulva, vagina. [since at least the 1920s; less common after the 1960s]
c.1920-1960, Rufus George Perryman (Speckled Red), quoted by Elijah Wald, The Dozens: A History of Rap's Mama:

Jumped right through your mammy's cock and never touched a hair.
