[Chorus: Göran Danielsson]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married a 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 a 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 a 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 a long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

[Verse 1: Annika Ljungberg]

He came to town like a mid-winter 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: Göran Danielsson]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married a 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 a long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

[Verse 2: Annika Ljungberg]

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: Göran Danielsson]

If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eyed Joe

I'd been married a 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 a 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 a 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 a 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 a long time ago

Where did you come from? Where did you go?

Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
