Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe Lyrics




If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
He came to town like a midwinter storm
+
He rode through the fields so hansome and strong
+
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
+
But all he had come for was having some fun
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
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 only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe
+
Gotta work...
+
Now everybody dance!
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
+
I'ld been married long time ago
+
Where did you come from where did you go
+
Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe
+
Hmm?
