[Intro] [banjo sixteenth-note riff, electronic kick drum enters] [brass section stabs] [Chorus] [male vocals] Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? [Instrumental Break] [banjo continues, synth bass enters, heavy electronic beat] [brass melody] [vocal shout: Hey!] [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? [Instrumental Break] [banjo solo, syncopated synth pulses] [Verse 2] He brought his ass to wherever he went The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent They all went away so nobody would know And left only men because of Cotton-Eye Joe [Chorus] Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe? [Outro] [brass stabs, banjo fades] Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
