Answer 2

This version is the one that was on the Malcom In The Middle Soundtrack:

Cotton Eye Joe
Rednex

1-If it hadn't been for cotton-eye joe
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from. Where did you go?
Where did you come from cotton-eye joe?
(repeat)

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-eye joe
(repeat)

It is not the original, which I think you can only get instrumentally to add your own dance calls to.

HERE IS SOMETHING ELSE I FOUND:
Cotton-Eyed Joe
Lyrics: Traditional
Music: Traditional

Played by Old And In The Way.

Lyrics below not yet checked against an Old And In The Way recording.

Way back yonder a long time ago
Daddy had a man called Cotton-Eyed Joe
Blew into town on a travelin' show
Nobody danced like the Cotton-Eyed Joe

Chorus
Cotton-Eyed Joe, Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?

Mama's at the window, Mama's at the door
She can't see nothin' but the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Daddy held the fiddle, I held the bow
We beat the hell out of Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]

Made himself a fiddle, made himself a bow
Made a little tune called the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Hadn't oughta been for the Cotton-Eyed Joe
I'd a-been married some forty years ago

[chorus]

Whenever there's dance all the women want to go
And they all want to dance with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Daddy won't say but I think he knows
Whatever happened to the Cotton-Eyed Joe

[chorus]

Answer 3

Michelle Shocked did a version on Arkansas Traveler. But her music - you can't go wrong.

But I was mistaken in thinking it was also on Springsteens Seeger Sessions CD (cool CD though).
