[Verse 1]
G C G
Way back yonder a long time ago

Daddy worked a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe
G C G
Blew into town on a travelin' show
G D G
Nobody danced like the Cotton-Eyed Joe
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
|G D G
| I'd been married a long time ago
|G C G
| Where did you come from, where did you go?
|G D G
| Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[Verse 2]
G C G
He came to town like a midwinter storm
G D G
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
G C G
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
G D G
But all he had come for was having some fun
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
G C G
Mama's at the window, Mama's at the door
G D G
She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-Eyed Joe
G C G
Daddy held the fiddle, I held the bow
G D G
An' we beat the crud out of Cotton-Eyed Joe
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
|G D G
| I'd been married a long time ago
|G C G
| Where did you come from, where did you go?
|G D G
| Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[Verse 4]
G C G
Made himself a a fiddle, made himself a bow
G D G
Made a little tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe
G C G
Hadn't oughta been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
G D G
I'd a-been married a long time ago
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
G C G
Whenever there's a dance all the women want to go

And they all want to dance with the Cotton-Eyed Joe

Daddy won't say but I think he knows
G D G
Whatever happened to Cotton-Eyed Joe
|[Chorus]
|G C G
| If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
|G D G
| I'd been married a long time ago
|G C G
| Where did you come from, where did you go?

| Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[Verse 6]
G C G
He brought disaster wherever he went
G C G
The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent
G C G
They all ran away so nobody would know
G C G
And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eye Joe
[Chorus]
