If it hadn`t been for cotton eye Joe
I`d been married a long time ago
Where did you come from Where did you go
Where did you come from cotton eye Joe
Intro again
He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he came for was havin` some fun
Intro again
He brought disaster wher`ver he went
The hearts of girls was hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
and left only men `cause of cotton eye Joe
Intro again
If it had`nt been for cotton eye Joe
I`d been married a long time ago
Where did you come from where did you go
Where did you come from cotton eye Joe
