The Other Woman / Cotton Eyed Joe - Live at Carnegie Hall

Lyrics

The other woman
 Finds time to manicure her nails
 The other woman
 Is perfect where her rival fails
 And she's never seen
 With pin curls in her hair
 The other woman
 Enchants her clothes with French perfume
 The other woman
 Keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
 There are never toys
 Scattered everywhere
 And when her baby comes to call
 He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
 'Cause when she's by his side
 It's such a change from old routine
 But the other woman
 Will always cry herself to sleep
 The other woman
 Will never have his love to keep
 And as the years go by
 The other woman
 Will spend her life alone

 Where do you come from, where do you go?
 Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe?
 I come for to see you and I come for to sing
 And I come for to show you my diamond ring?
 If it hadn't a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe
 Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
 Oh, where do you come from, where do you go?
 Where do you come from, where do you go?
 Where do you come from, where do you go?
 My Cotton Eyed Joe
 ♪
 Tell me where do you come from and where do you go?
 Tell me where do you come from, my Cotton Eyed Joe?
 Well I come for to see you and I come for to sing
 And I come for to show you my diamond ring
 Oh Joe, if you hadn't been so slow
 Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
 Where do you come from, where do you go?
 Where do you come from, where do you go?
 I come for to see you and I come for to sing
 And I come for to show you my diamond ring
 Well if it hadn't a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe
 Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
 Oh, where do you come from, where do you go?
 My, my Cotton Eyed Joe
