Don't you remember? Don't you know?
Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe
Daddy worked a man called Cotton Eyed Joe
Had not it been for the Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd a'been married a long time ago
I'd a'been married a long time ago
Down in the cotton patch, down below
Everybody's singin' the "Cotton Eyed Joe"
Everybody's singin' about Cotton Eyed Joe
Had not it been for the Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd a'been married a long time ago
I'd a'been married a long time ago
Tune my fiddle and rosin my bow
Gonna make music everywhere I go
Play a little tune called "Cotton Eyed Joe"
Had not it been for the Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd a'been married a long time ago
I'd a'been married a long time ago
