The Stanley Brothers

Cotton Eyed Joe

Do you remember Long time ago

Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe

Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe

I could have been married long time ago

If it hadn't 'a been for Cotton Eyed Joe

If it hadn't 'a been for Cotton Eyed Joe

Old bull fiddle and a shoe-string bow

Wouldn't play nothin' but Cotton Eyed Joe

Wouldn't play nothin' but Cotton Eyed Joe

Play it fast or play it slow

Didn't play nothing but Cotton Eyed Joe

Didn't play nothing but Cotton Eyed Joe

Where do you come from where do you go

Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe

Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe

Come for to see you come for to sing

Come for to show you my diamond ring

Come for to show you my diamond ring
