Lyrics The Other Woman - Cotton-Eyed Joe - Nina Simone

The Other Woman - Cotton-Eyed Joe

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails\nThe other woman is perfect where her rival fails\nAnd she’s never seen with pin curls in her hair\nThe other woman enchantes her clothes with French perfume\nThe other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room\nThere are never toys that’s scattered everywhere\nAnd when her baby comes to call\nHe’ll find her waiting like a lonesome queen\nCos when she’s by his side\nIt’s such a change from old routine\nBut the other woman will always cry herself to sleep\nThe other woman will never have his love to keep\nAnd as the years go by the other woman\nWill spend her life alone\nWhere do you come from where do you go Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe\nI come for to see you and I come for to sing\nAnd I come for to show you my diamond ring\nIf it hadn’t a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe\nWell I’d a-been married a long time ago\nOh where do you come from where do you go Where do you come from where do you go Where do you come from where do you go My Cotton Eyed Joe\nTell me where do you come from and where do you go Tell me where do you come from my Cotton Eyed Joe\nWell I come for to see you and I come for to sing\nAnd I come for to show you my diamond ring\nOh Joe if you hadn’t been so slow\nWell I’d a-been married a long time ago\nWhere do you come from where do you go Where do you come from where do you go I come for to see you and I come for to sing\nAnd I come for to show you my diamond ring\nWell if it hadn’t a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe\nWell I’d a-been married a long time ago\nOh where do you come from where do you go My my Cotton Eyed Joe
