You need to go back to the 1700's to get the true answer to this question. It was written way back then by a gentleman called Mike Morris.
It has been recorded hundreds of times by country music artists -probabaly long before Rednex were ever born!
COTTON-EYED JOE
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,
held the bow
He beat the hell out of Cotton-eyed Joe
Made himself a fiddle,
Made himself a bow
Made a little tune called the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Hadn't oughta been
For Cotton-eyed Joe
I'da been married some forty years ago.
Whenever there's a dance
All the women want to go
And they all want to dance with Cotton-Eyed Joe
Daddy won't say
But I think he know
Whatever happened to Cotton-eyed Joe !

it was Rednex. Ordinarily I would never have known that, but someone gave me a website to check out for a laugh where you enter your date of birth & it tells you what was No.1 in the UK charts on the day you were born. That song came up for someone I know (January 1995) This section of Q&A is not one I would always look at either, but tonight, I did. How's that for co-incidence?
