Текст песни
Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe,
What did make you serve me so,
For to take my gal away from me,
And carry her down to Tennessee?
If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd have been married long ago
His eyes were crossed, and his nose was flat,
And his teeth were out, but what of that?
For he was tall, and he was slim,
And so my gal she followed him
If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd have been married long ago
No gal so handsome could be found,
Not in all this country round,
With her kinky head, and her eyes so bright,
With her lips so red and her teeth so white
If it hadn't been for Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd have been married long ago
