Cotton Eye Joe lyrics

[Intro]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

[Chorus]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

[Verse 1]

He came to town like a midwinter storm

He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong

His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun

But all he had come for was havin' some fun

[Chorus]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

[Verse 2]

He brought disaster wherever he went

The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent

They all ran away so nobody would know

And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eyed Joe

[Chorus]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
