Lyrics

If 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 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 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 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

I came to town like a midwinter storm

I rode through the fields so handsome and strong

My eyes were my tools and my smile was my gun

But all I had come for was having some fun

If 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 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

I caused disaster wherever I 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 Eye Joe

If 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 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 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 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 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
