Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe
What did make you hurt me so
You took my gal away from me
Left her back in Tennessee
I'd been married many years ago
If it wasn't for that Cotton Eyed Joe

Cotton-Eyed Joe, no handsome man
Had him a reverse farmer tan
With girl in hand and sometimes two
Behind his ears, some potaboo
I'd been married many years ago
If it wasn't for that Cotton Eyed Joe

Read her Tolstoy and all night long
Dusterevsky, maybe I'm wrong
Tetrameter he loved to speak
Who knew a poet was who'd she seek
I'd been married many years ago
If it wasn't for that Cotton Eyed Joe

Cotton-Eyed Joe, now hear my voice
Why would Emmy make you her choice
Hold on, that's right, you just were you
She was courted, chose one of two
Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Off to Tennessee you did go

Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-Eyed Joe
It was bad luck, and exactly so
Chose a woman, didn't pick me
Now the future past plain to see
Can't blame you for lonely years past
Emmy and Joe, so, did it last

Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Back in these parts, so I guess no
Nephews, nieces, oh gather round
Heartbreak is found in happy sound
Bless you Emmy, hard feelings no
'Cept for that rascal that Cotton Eyed Joe

Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Back in these parts, so I guess no
Nephews, nieces, oh gather round
Heart break is found in happy sound
Bless you Emmy, hard feelings no
Except for that rascal, that Cotton Eyed Joe
Bless you Emmy, hard feelings no
Except for that rascal, that Cotton Eyed Joe
Except for that rascal, that Cotton Eyed Joe
