What's to be done with a prodigal son?
|
Welcome him home with open arms
|
Throw a big party, invite your friends
|
Our boy's come back home
|
|
When a girl goes home with the oats he's sown
|
It's draw your shades and your shutters
|
She's bringing such shame to the family name
|
The return of the prodigal daughter
|
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
|
Went to see a doctor and I almost died
|
When I told my mama, Lordy, how she cried
|
Me and my daddy were never too close
|
But he was there when I needed him most
|
|
Look, here comes a prodigal son
|
Fetch him a tall drink of water
|
But there's none in the cup 'cause he drank it all up
|
Left for a prodigal daughter
|
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
|
Oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
|
Had not have been for the Cotton Eyed Joe
|
I'd have been married a long time ago
|
Oh, I'd have been married a long time ago
|
|
Out in the cornfield I stubbed my toe
|
I called for the doctor, Cotton Eyed Joe
|
I called for the doctor, Cotton Eyed Joe
|
|
Look, here comes a prodigal son
|
Fetch him a tall drink of water
|
But there's none in the cup 'cause he drank it all up
|
Left for a prodigal daughter
|
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
|
