LYRICS:
Way back yonder, a long time ago;
Daddy had a man called "Cotton-Eyed Joe".
Blew into town on a travelin' show.
Nobody danced like the Cotton-Eyed Joe.

CHORUS: (Repeat where desired)
Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe.
where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from Cotton-eyed Joe?

Mama's at the window, Mama's at the door;
She can't see nothin', but the Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Daddy held the fiddle, held the bow.
He beat the Hell out of Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Made himself a fiddle, made himself a bow.
Made a little tune called: "the Cotton-Eyed Joe".

Hadn't oughta been for Cotton-Eyed Joe.
I'da been married some forty years ago.

Whenever there's a dance, all the women want to go;
And they all want to dance with Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Daddy won't say, but I think he knows;
Whatever happened to Cotton-eyed Joe.
