Cotton Eye Joe Lyrics by Rednex

Sex & Violins

1994

[Chorus: Göran Danielsson]
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
[Verse 1: Annika Ljungberg]
He came to town like a mid-winter storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was havin' some fun
[Chorus: Göran Danielsson]
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
[Verse 2: Annika Ljungberg]
He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eyed Joe
[Chorus: Göran Danielsson]
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
