Текст песни The Chieftains - Cotton-Eyed Joe

If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe

Get out your fiddle, rosin' up your bow
Play an old tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from, where did you go?

Where did you come from Cotton-Eyed Joe?

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 having some fun
