Don't you remember, don't you know,
Daddy work with a man named Cotton eyed Joe,
Daddy work with a man named Cotton eyed Joe

If it hadn't a-been for Cotton eyed joe
I could have been married a long time ago,
I could have been married a long time ago

Mama's at the window, Mama's at the door,
She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-eyed Joe, She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-eyed Joe

Daddy held the fiddle, I held the bow,
We played the hell out of Cotton-eyed Joe, We played the hell out of Cotton-eyed Joe

Made himself a fiddle, Made himself a bow,
played a little tune called the Cotton-Eyed Joe, played a little tune called the 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

Whenever there's dance All the women want to go,
They'll all dance with the Cotton-Eyed Joe, They'll all dance with the Cotton-Eyed Joe

Daddy won't say but I think he knows
Whatever happened to the Cotton-Eyed Joe, Whatever happened to the Cotton-Eyed Joe

[CHORUS:]
Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe, where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from Cotton-eyed Joe?
