Cotton Eye Joe - LUCKYDANCERS TRUCHTERSHEIM

Cotton Eye Joe
Version sortie en 1994 et interprétée par Rednex. Ce groupe suédois a
modifié les paroles de la chanson dont l’origine est encore incertaine. Elle
daterait d’avant la guerre de Sécession (1861-1865). Des esclaves l’auraient
chantée dans des plantations de coton en Louisiane.
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 ?
(x4)
He came to town like a midwinter storm
He rode through the fields so handsome and strong
His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun
But all he had come for was having some fun
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 ?
(x2)
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
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 ?
(x5)
