lyrics

ain't you heard of cotton eyed joe?
he came to town a long time ago.
legend had it before he was around
happiness was easily found

he was so helpful
he had energy to spare.
worked 10 men's days in the field
before the morning sun appeared

hadn't a been for cotton eyed joe
i'd been married a long time ago
where'd you come from
where'd you go
where you been cotton eye'd joe

walkin one night by Avery hill
holdin her hand and lookin in her eyes
and promising the moon everthing about it
just a hollow design

how do i know the story, you ask this of me
i'm just an old woman with short life before me
but i was a good lookin woman once, when i met that diamond, Joe
he took my heart and ran it around so the story goes
