If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
 I'd been married long time ago
 Where did [bad word] from? Where did you go?
 Where did [bad word] from cotton-eye Joe?

 (Girls)
 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 [bad word] for was having some fun

 He brought disaster wherever he went
 The hearts of the girls was to [bad word] 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 long time ago
 Where did [bad word] from? Where did you go?
 Where did [bad word] from cotton-eye Joe?
