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

G                               C
He came to town like a midwinter storm
G                          D
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
G                            C
He said, "I’d stay, but I got to go"
G                           D
That’s why I’m leaving, Cotton Eyed Joe. 

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