Cotton Eyed Joe
Way down yonder a long time ago
Daddy had a man called 4 Cotton-Eyed 1 Joe
Chorus
Where did you come from, Where did you go
Where did you come from, 4 Cotton-Eyed 1 Joe
Made him a fiddle and made him a bow
And they made a little tune called "Cotton-Eyed Joe."
Would have been married long time ago
Hadn't a been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I fell down and stubbed my toe
Call for the doctor, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Fourteen feet of ice and snow
The roof caved in on Cotton-Eyed Joe
Chicken in the bread pan peckin' out the dough
Grannie will your dog bite? No, child, no
