Cotton Eyed Joe

[Verse 1]
Don't you remember don't you know
Daddy worked a man they called Cotton Eyed Joe
Daddy worked a man they called Cotton Eyed Joe
Had it not been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd-a been married a long time ago
I'd-a been married a long time ago

[Verse 2]
Down in the cotton patch down below
Everybody singing the Cotton Eyed Joe
Everybody singing the Cotton Eyed Joe
Had it not been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd-a been married a long time ago
I'd-a been married a long time ago

[Verse 3]
I know a gal lives down below
Used to go to see her but I don't no more
Used to go to see her but I don't no more
Had it not been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd-a been married a long time ago
I'd-a been married a long time ago

[Verse 4]
I fell down and I stubbed my toe
Called for the doctor Cotton Eyed Joe
Called for the doctor Cotton Eyed Joe
Had it not been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd-a been married a long time ago
I'd-a been married a long time ago

[Verse 5]
Hewn my fiddle and rosin my bow
Gonna make music everywhere I go
Gonna play a tune they call Cotton Eyed Joe
Had it not been for Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd-a been married a long time ago
I'd-a been married a long time ago
