[Chorus]


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, cotton eye joe?

[Verse 1]


He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields, so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was havin’ some fun

[Chorus]


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, cotton eye joe?

[Verse 2]


He brought disaster wherever he went
The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent
They all ran away so nobody would know
And left only men ’cause of Cotton-Eyed Joe

[Chorus]


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?


If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe
I’d been married long time ago
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

Cotton Eye Joe Lyrics: If it hadn’t been for Cotton-Eyed Joe / I’d been married long time ago / Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Cotton Eye Joe Lyrics Meaning | Cotton Eye Joe Meaning : Final Thoughts

Cotton Eye Joe meaning: The song Cotton-Eyed Joe has been around far longer than most people realize. And certainly longer than the popular version by the Rednex.

We don’t know who wrote it or who performed it first. We don’t even know which country it comes from originally. But we do know that it speaks of a (probably) African American man who stole the would-be wife of the song’s author.

If you like these types of breakdowns, we have a bunch more. The lyrics and meaning to 25 Or 6 To 4 are quite interesting, because people had so many bizarre theories, until the writer revealed no hidden meaning whatsoever. The true meaning is actually quite hilarious.

Another good example is the dark meaning behind the lyrics for Semi-Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind. They are completely opposite of the tune’s upbeat and happy melody.

And finally, there are the lyrics and meaning for The Weight by The Band. This song also includes numerous images from American folklore.

Songwriters: Jan M. Eriksson / Orjan Kjell Anders Oberg / Ranis Patric Edenberg
