Johnson Boys / Cotton-Eyed Joe Testo

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

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
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

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


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

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
