The Cotton-Eyed Joe

Do you remember a long time ago
Daddy worked a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe
Daddy worked a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe

Hadn't been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd a-been married long time ago
I'd a-been married a long time ago

Old bull fiddle and a shoe-string bow
Wouldn't play nothin' but Cotton-Eyed Joe
Wouldn't play nothin' but Cotton-Eyed Joe

Play it fast or play it slow
Didn't play nothing but Cotton-Eyed Joe
Didn't play nothing but Cotton-Eyed Joe

Where do you come from where do you go
Where do you come from Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where do you come from Cotton-Eyed Joe

Come for to see you, to hear you sing
Come for to show you my diamond ring
Come for to show you my diamond ring
