[Chorus]
A
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
D
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
E
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
A
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
D
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
E
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
[Verse 1]
A
He came to town like a midwinter storm
D A
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
A
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
D E
But all he had come for was having some fun
[Chorus]
A
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
