| 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
|
| If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been
|
| 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 having some fun
|
| If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been
|
| 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 all the men 'cause of Cotton Eye Joe
|
| If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been
|
| If it hadn’t been, if it hadn’t been |
