Lyrics:
Burl Ives - Cotton-Eyed Joe
Do You remember a long time ago,
There was a man called cotton-eyed Joe
TThere was a man called cotton-eyed Joe
I could
alone
Where do you come from where do you go
Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe
I come for to see you and I come for to sing
And I come for to show
versions by Peggy Lee (# 2), Bing Crosby
(#14), and Burl Ives (# 21) were all charted as just "Riders In the Sky"
Later, The Ramrods took it to # 30 in
Burl Ives - Highland Laddie
Was you ever in Quebec?
Bonny laddie, Highland laddie,
Loading timber on the deck,
My bonny Highland laddie.
High-ho,
Burl Ives - Ghost Riders In The Sky
An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all
Burl Ives - Froggie went A-courtin
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
love" and "Milk Cow Blues"
"The Oklahoma Stomp" and "Born To Lose"
Tip your hat to "The Rose of San Antone"
Here we go with the "Cotton Eyed Joe
morning from Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe Macallister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
Choctaw Wridge
Today Billie Joe Macallister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama as he passed around the black eyed peas
Well Billie
Choctaw Ridge
Today, Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
Papa said to mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas
"Well, Billie
toe-tappin'
We'll be kickin' up our heels to the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Music and laughter, gonna raise the rafters
A little boot-slidin' across the floor
Do
As he passed around them black-eyed peas
That's soul food
You know what I'm talkin' about
Said "Ol' Billie Joe ain't never had a
Lick of sense in his
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged, and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Big sign hangin' by the door
Sawdust
Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Big sign hangin' by the door
Sawdust
on the river
Sliding on by.
Hard to believe,
Wink of an eye.
Where'd you go,
Baby Buffalo?
What's become
Of old Cotton Eyed Joe?
Hold up, lying
up my heels and dance around the world
Take life by the hand and just give it a twirl
Waltz out of here in three quarter time
Do the Cotton Eyed Joe
with a bow on his thumb and a fiddle in his hand
He tunes up the fiddle and he rosins up the bow
And he plays an old tune called "Cotton Eyed Joe
on his thumb
And a fiddle in his hand
He tunes up the fiddle and he rosins up the bow
And he plays an old tune called 'Cotton Eyed Joe'
And they dance all
from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the black-eyed peas

"Today Billy Joe Mac Allister
Jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
Papa said to Mama as he passed
Around the black eyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never
Where goes the soul?
Where do we go?
I thought I'd ask cotton-eyed Joe
Where do we come from?
Where do we go?
I really love the lies you told
Cotton-Eyed
strong, pack that bong,
We be creepin like Cotton Eyed Joe,
Yeah where I come from there ain't much to do,
Except stay up late, and a smoke on tubes,
Workin
prepared for the weight of this ring
But we will get by
For the rest of our lives
So play the Cotton-Eyed Joe
For the folks don't you know
Keep the dogs in
