Johnson Boys / Cotton Eyed Joe |
| Johnson boys were born in the ashes |
| Didn’t know how to court a maid |
| Turned their backs and hide their faces |
| Sight of a pretty girl made ‘em afraid (5x) |
| Johnson boys they went a courtin' |
| Coon Creek girls so pretty and sweet |
| They couldn’t make no conversation |
| Didn’t know where to put their feet (5x) |
| Johnson boys they went a huntin' |
| Took two dogs and went astray |
| Tore there clothes and scratched their faces |
| Didn’t come back till the break of day (5x) |
| Johnson boys the went to the city |
| Ridin' in a Chevrolet |
| They came home broke and a walking |
| Had no money for to pay their way (5x) |
| If it had to be for Cotton-Eyed Joe |
| I’d be married long time ago |
| Where did you come from, where did you go |
| Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe (2x) |
| Get out your fiddle, rous’n up your bow |
| Play an old tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe |
| Where did you come from, where did you go |
| Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe |
