Cotton Eye Joe Lyrics

[00:00.24] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[00:01.98] I'd been married long time ago
[00:03.75] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[00:05.53] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[00:07.33] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[00:09.28] I'd been married long time ago
[00:11.05] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[00:12.85] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[00:15.92]
[00:21.97] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[00:23.72] I'd been married long time ago
[00:25.41] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[00:27.41] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[00:29.24] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[00:31.06] I'd been married long time ago
[00:32.83] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[00:34.72] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[00:37.70]
[00:51.13] He came to town like a midwinter storm
[00:54.31] He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
[00:57.97] His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
[01:01.52] But all he had come for was having some fun
[01:05.63] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[01:07.34] I'd been married long time ago
[01:09.18] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[01:10.95] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[01:12.89] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[01:14.54] I'd been married long time ago
[01:16.49] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[01:18.27] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[01:21.22]
[01:34.88] He brought disaster wherever he went
[01:38.18] The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent
[01:41.90] They all ran away so nobody would know
[01:45.33] And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eye Joe
[01:49.27] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[01:51.16] I'd been married long time ago
[01:52.96] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[01:54.71] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[01:56.64] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[01:58.32] I'd been married long time ago
[02:00.17] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[02:02.01] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[02:05.19]
[02:33.05] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[02:34.78] I'd been married long time ago
[02:36.63] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[02:38.50] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[02:40.35] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[02:42.06] I'd been married long time ago
[02:43.91] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[02:45.88] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[02:49.13]
[03:02.17] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
[03:03.79] I'd been married long time ago
[03:05.61] Where did you come from, where did you go?
[03:07.40] Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[03:08.64]
