Cotton Eyed Joe Lyrics

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

I've got a story
That I can tell
Sit by my fire
Sit ‘neath my star
And when you leave me
Don't 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.
