Lyrics
Ah, Cotton-Eyed Joe now
Don't you remember, don't you know
Daddy worked a man they called Cotton-Eyed Joe
Daddy worked a man they called Cotton-Eyed Joe

Had not have been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
I'd have been married a long time ago

Down in the cotton patch down below
Everybody's singing the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Everybody's doing the Cotton-Eyed Joe

Had not have been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
I'd have been married a long time ago

Knew a girl lives down below
Used to go to see her but I don't know more
Used to go to see her but I don't know more

Had not have been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
I'd have been married a long time ago

Grab your fiddle and rosin up the bow
Gonna play music everywhere we go
Gonna play a song they call Cotton-Eyed Joe

Had not have been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
I'd have been married a long time ago
