Cotton-Eyed Joe

Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Played by Jerry Garcia with Old And In The Way.

Hadn't oughta been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd have been married long time ago

Chorus
Where did you come from, where did you go
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from, where did you go
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe

Don't you remember, don't you know
Daddy worked a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]

Hand me my fiddle, hand me my bow
Going to play a tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]

I fell down, stubbed my toe
Called for the doctor, Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]

Don't you remember, don't you know
Don't you remember Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]
