If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did he come from? Where did he go?
Where did he come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Yeah
He came in to town like a raging storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes were his tools and his smile was his gun
And all he had come for was having some fun

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did he come from? Where did he go?
Where did he come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Ooh

(Where did he go?)

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did he come from? Where did he go?
Where did he come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did he come from? Where did he go?
