The other woman finds time to manicure her nails
|
The other woman is perfect where her rival fails
|
And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair
|
|
The other woman enchantes her clothes with French perfume
|
The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
|
There are never toys that's scattered everywhere
|
|
And when her baby comes to call
|
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
|
Cos when she's by his side
|
It's such a change from old routine
|
|
But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep
|
The other woman will never have his love to keep
|
And as the years go by the other woman
|
Will spend her life alone
|
|
Where do you come from where do you go
|
Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe
|
I come for to see you and I come for to sing
|
And I come for to show you my diamond ring
|
|
If it hadn't a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
|
Oh where do you come from where do you go
|
Where do you come from where do you go
|
Where do you come from where do you go
|
My Cotton Eyed Joe
|
|
Tell me where do you come from and where do you go
|
Tell me where do you come from my Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Well I come for to see you and I come for to sing
|
And I come for to show you my diamond ring
|
|
Oh Joe if you hadn't been so slow
|
Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
|
Where do you come from where do you go
|
Where do you come from where do you go
|
I come for to see you and I come for to sing
|
And I come for to show you my diamond ring
|
|
Well if it hadn't a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe
|
Well I'd a-been married a long time ago
|
Oh where do you come from where do you go
|
My my Cotton Eyed Joe
|
