Lyrics

Johnson boys were born in the ashes
 Didn't know how to court a maid
 Turned their backs and hide their faces
 Sight of a pretty girl made 'em afraid (5x)
 Johnson boys they went a courtin'
 Coon Creek girls so pretty and sweet
 They couldn't make no conversation
 Didn't know where to put their feet (5x)
 Johnson boys they went a huntin'
 Took two dogs and went astray
 Tore there clothes and scratched their faces
 Didn't come back till the break of day (5x)
 Johnson boys the went to the city
 Ridin' in a Chevrolet
 They came home broke and a walking
 Had no money for to pay their way (5x)
 If it had to be for Cotton-Eyed Joe
 I'd be married long time ago
 Where did you come from, where did you go
 Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe (2x)
 Get out your fiddle, rous'n up your bow
 Play an old tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe
 Where did you come from, where did you go
 Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe
