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-Eyed 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-Eyed Joe?

He came into town like a raging storm
Rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes were his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had came for was havin' some fun

If 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-Eyed Joe?

If 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-Eyed Joe?

*INSTRUMENTAL*

If 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-Eyed Joe?

If 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-Eyed Joe?

If 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-Eyed Joe?
