Tom Paxton - Cotton-Eye Joe Lyrics
Where do you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe
Leaving your house now, a long time ago
Hid in a cane brake, all night long
Ran away north-land, to sing your song
And you never quit grievin’
Missing the campground
And the sweet, sweet singing
Ain’t a getting younger, Cotton-Eye Joe
Feet still dancing, when the music slows
North-land, north-land, gets so cold
Times get hard when, the bones get old
Ain’t you never quit grieving
Wishing you were home again
Missing the campgrounds
And the sweet, sweet singing
All day Sunday, feeling like a rescued sinner
Singing the old songs
Singing the old songs
Didn't you find out, a long time ago
Jesus loves his Cotton-Eye Joe
Sittin' in a rocker, sleepy-eyed
Chariots comin' by and by
And you never quit grievin’
Wishing you were home again
Missing the campground
And the sweet, sweet singing
Ah, missing the river you could catch your dinner in
All day Sunday, feeling like a rescued sinner
Singing the old songs
Singing the old songs
And didn't you find out, long time ago
Jesus loves his Cotton-Eye Joe
Sittin' in a rocker, sleepy eyed
Chariots a-comin' by and by
You never quit grieving
Wishing you were home again
Missing the campground
And the sweet, sweet singing

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to Hell, broken, sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men 'cause of Cotton-Eye Joe
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married a long time ago
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?

Yee haaw! 🐂🐴
I heard this in a summer camp
Because of astrology reasons, I once tried to find out on what moon phase I was born. I googled what felt like forever, just to find out that I was born on the exact day Cotton Eye Joe came out. Needless to say, I have a deep spiritual connection to this song.
