1. Well, I come from no where as the wind blows,
where I am go ing, well, no body knows.

Where did you come from, where did you go ?
Where did you come from, where did you go,
Where did you come from, Cotton-eyed Joe ?

She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-eyed Joe.

He beat the hell out of Cotton-eyed Joe.

Made a little tune called the Cotton-Eyed Joe.
5. Hadn't oughta been for Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd a-been married some forty years ago.
6. Whenever there's a dance all the women want to go,
And they all want to dance with Cotton-Eyed Joe.

Whatever happened to Cotton-eyed Joe.
