Cotton Eyed Joe

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

Oh come on, Cotton Eyed Joe, lets play ol'Kelso
Oh, excuse me I've got it all wrong, Kelso yeah!

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

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

Oh, brother Louis
Yes, yeah

Tune my fiddle and rosin my bow
I'm 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
