[Chorus]
If it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go
Cotton eye Joe?

[Chorus]
If it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Cotton eye Joe

[Verse 1]
If it hadn't been for the sparks in your eyes
I wouldn't have sung this song
A cover shouldn't be what you expected to see
Held up in the palms of my hands
Well surprise, I admire your cheap attempts to keep 'em up again
Don't look too deep, I'm just killing time
Before what matters comes around again

[Chorus]
If it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe
I'd have been married a long, long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go
Cotton eye Joe?
[Bridge]
Where did you go?

[Chorus]
If it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe
I'd have been married a long long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
Where did you go
Cotton eye Joe?
