    COTTON-EYED JOE

    Way back yonder a long time ago
    Daddy had a man called cotton-eyed joe
    Blew into town on a travelin' show
    Nobody danced like the Cotton eyed Joe.

    CHORUS:
      Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe
      where did you come from?
      Where did you go?
      Where did you come from?
      Where did you go?
      Where did you come from cotton-eyed Joe?
   --------------------------------------------
      Mama's at the window
      Mama's at the door
      She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-eyed Joe

      Daddy held the fiddle,
      I held the bow
      We beat the hell out of Cotton-eyed Joe
      (CHORUS)

       Made himself a fiddle,
       Made himself a bow
       Made a little tune called the Cotton-Eyed Joe

       Hadn't oughta been
       for the Cotton-eyed Joe
       I'da been married some forty years ago.
       (CHORUS)

    Whenever there's 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
    Whatever happened to the Cotton-eyed JOe !

    (CHORUS)
      Cotton-eyed JOe, Cotton-eyed Joe
      Where did you come from, where did you go......

        Great tune for a cold grey day!
