Cotton Eye Joe

Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe, What did make you serve me so, For to take my gal away from me, And carry her down to Tennessee? If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe, I'd have been married long ago His eyes were crossed, and his nose was flat, And his teeth were out, but what of that? For he was tall, and he was slim, And so my gal she followed him If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe, I'd have been married long ago No gal so handsome could be found, Not in all this country round, With her kinky head, and her eyes so bright, With her lips so red and her teeth so white If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe, I'd have been married long ago
