Cotton-Eyed Joe Lyrics by The Chieftains

Another Country

0

If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from. Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?
(musical interlude)
Get out your fiddle. Rosin up your bow
Play an old tune called cotton-eye joe
Where did you come from. Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?
Whooo!
