In 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? Fiddle - Chorus
Have you ever seen a man with a hole in his shoe?
Does more hoppin' than a Kangaroo
Pants held up with binder twine
Sippin' back on that ole moonshine
Now he'd uproot when the time is right
Use his charm and steal your wife
Where's he at nobody knows
Look out for ole 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? x2 - Fiddle
Years gone by we've all grown old
And I'm still talkin' 'bout Cotton Eye Joe
Left me with an empty heart
I wish I'd known right from the start
Came to town I paid the price
Used his charm and stole my wife
Where's he gone nobody knows
Keep a look out for ole 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? x2
