Cotton Eyed Joe

Where do you come from where do you go?
Where do you come from cotton eyed joe?
I come for to see you I come for to sing
I come for to show you my diamond ring
Stay for a while stay for a spell
Ive got a story that I can tell
Sit by my fire sit neath my star
And when you leave me dont go too far
Where do you come from where do you go?
Where do you come from cotton eyed joe?
I come for to see you I come for to love
I come for to hold you my turtle dove
Stay through the winter stay through the spring
See what the summer breezes do bring
I wish I could keep you I wish I could know
Where do you come from cotton eyed joe?
