Lyrics

[Chorus: Göran Danielsson] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? [Verse 1] He came to town like a midwinter storm He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun But all he had come for was havin' some fun [Chorus: Göran Danielsson] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? [Verse 2] He brought disaster wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent They all ran away so nobody would know And left all the men 'cause of Cotton-Eyed Joe [Chorus: Göran Danielsson] If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? [Outro: Göran Danielsson] If it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been- For Cotton-Eyed Joe If it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been- For Cotton-Eyed Joe If it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been- For Cotton-Eyed Joe If it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been-, if it hadn't been- For Cotton-Eyed Joe For Cotton-Eyed Joe If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe For Cotton-Eyed Joe If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe I'd been married a long time ago Where did you come from? Where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
