Male/Female duet
TIP YOUR HAT AND SAY HELLO
TAKE THAT GIRL OUT ON THE FLOOR
GET OUT THE FIDDLE AND ROSIN UP THE BOW
WE'RE ALL GONNA DANCE TO THE COTTON EYED JOE
SWING YOUR LASSO, STEP AND GO
SWING TO THE BEAT OF THE COTTON EYED JOE
GET OUT THE FIDDLE, ROSIN UP THE BOW
WE'RE ALL GONNA DANCE TO THE COTTON EYED JOE
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR COTTON-EYED JOE
I'D BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
CAME THROUGH TOWN ON A TRAVELIN' SHOW
WITH A BLACK LEATHER VEST AND A HI-DE-HO
HE JUST HAD A WAY WITH THE CALICOS
NOBODY DANCED LIKE COTTON EYED JOE
DID HIM A CARRY A DIAMOND RING?
DID HE HAVE A SWEET VOICE TO SING?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR COTTON EYED JOE
I'D BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
KNEW HOW TO TURN AND DO SI DO
TOOK MY SADIE, LEFT ME PO'
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
HE WAS TALL, HE WAS SLIM
MY GIRL SHE UP AND FOLLERED HIM
SNATCHED HER PLUMB AWAY FROM ME
THEY MIGHT HAVE LEFT FOR TENNESSEE
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR COTTON EYED JOE
I'D BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR COTTON EYED JOE
I'D BEEN MARRIED A LONG TIME AGO
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, WHERE DID YOU GO?
WHERE DID YOU COME FROM, COTTON EYED JOE?
