Cotton Eye Joe

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Have you ever seen a man with a hole in his shoe?
Does more hopping than a kangaroo
Pants held up with binder twine
Slipping back in that old moonshine

He'll clean up good when the time is right
Use his charm and steal your wife
Where's he gone, nobody knows
Keep a look out for old Cotton Eye Joe

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Years gone by, we've all grown old
And I'm still talking about Cotton Eye Joe
Left me with an empty heart
I wish I'd known right from the start

He came to town and I paid the price
Used his charm and stole my wife
Where's he gone, nobody knows
Keep a look out for old Cotton Eye Joe

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Hey hey hey heey

Hey hey hey heey

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Hey hey hey heey

Hey hey hey heey

If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?
