Lyrics

Traditional
 If 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?
 (repeat)
 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
 (repeat intro)
 He brought disaster wherever he 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
 (repeat intro)
