[G]Way back yonder a [C]long time [G]ago, 
Daddy had a man called [G]Cotton Eye [G]Joe  
Blew into town on a [C]travellin' [G]show, 
nobody danced like [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.

[G]Cotton Eye Joe,[Em]Cotton Eye [G]Joe, 
where did you come from,[D]where did you [G]go       
Where did you come from, [Em]where did you [G]go, 
Where did you come from, [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.
       
[G]Mama's at the window,[C]Mama's at the[G]door, 
she can't see nothin'[D]but CottonEye [G]Joe
Daddy held the fiddle, I [C]held the [G]bow, 
an' we beat the hell out'a [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.

[G]Cotton Eye Joe,[Em]Cotton Eye [G]Joe, 
where did you come from,[D]where did you [G]go       
Where did you come from, [Em]where did you [G]go, 
Where did you come from, [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.
                                
[G]Made him a fiddle, [C]made him a [G]bow 
and made a little tune called [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe 
If it had'nt been for [C]Cotton Eye [G]Joe, 
I'd a- been married a [D]long time [G]ago.

[G]Cotton Eye Joe,[Em]Cotton Eye [G]Joe, 
where did you come from,[D]where did you [G]go       
Where did you come from, [Em]where did you [G]go, 
Where did you come from, [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.
                                                               
[G]Whenever there's a dance all the [C]women want to [G]go
and they all want'a dance to [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.
Daddy won't say but I [C]think he [G]know's, 
whatever happened to [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.

[G]Cotton Eye Joe,[Em]Cotton Eye [G]Joe, 
where did you come from,[D]where did you [G]go       
Where did you come from, [Em]where did you [G]go, 
Where did you come from, [D]Cotton Eye [G]Joe.
