Lyrics

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Yee-hoo-hoo!

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Yee-haw!

[Bridge]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[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 having some fun

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Yee-haw!

[Verse 2]

He brought disaster wherever he went

The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent

They all went away so nobody would know

And left only men 'cause of Cotton Eye Joe

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

Yee-haw!

[Bridge]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[Bridge]

Yee-hoo-hoo!

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?

[Bridge]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Well, it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe

I'd been married long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton Eye Joe?
