Cotton Eyed Joe

(Ah! "Cotton-eyed Joe", now)

Don't you remember?
Don't you know
That there were a man called Cotton-eyed Joe?
That there were a man called Cotton-eyed Joe?

Had not it been for Cotton-eyed Joe
I'd have been married
Long time ago
I'd have been married
Long time ago

Down in a cotton hatch, down below
Everybody sang to the Cotton-eyed Joe
Everybody doing the Cotton-eyed Joe

Had not it been for Cotton-eyed Joe
I'd have been married
Long time ago
I'd have been married
Long time ago
(Everyone now)

Knew a little girl deep down below
Used go to see her but I don't no more
Used go to see her but I don't no more

Had not it been for Cotton-eyed Joe
I'd have been married
Long time ago
I'd have been married
Long time ago
(I'll sleep at the steel, Wally)

Grab your fiery horizon of the boat
Gonna play music everywere we go
Gonna play a song for Cotton-eyed Joe

Had not it been for Cotton-eyee Joe
I'd have been married
Long time ago
I'd have been married
Long time ago

(Ah, yeah)
