The Devil's Bluesmen - Cotton Eyed Joe (Heavy Blues Cover)

With a heavy downbeat and menacing snarl, they're gonna find Joe and then...

The Devil's Bluesmen all hail from the deep south of Hell and only travel above ground for special Youtube gigs and soul gatherings.

Look for their upcoming album "Before He Knows You're Dead" soon!

Lyrics:

If it wasn't for that ol' cotton eye Joe,
I mighta been married a lonnng time ago!

[verse 1]
Cotton-eyed Joe, Cotton-eyed Joe,
What the hell is wrong, yo!
You took my gal from me
All the way to Tennessee!

[chorus]
If it wasn't for that ol' Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd a been married a long time ago,
Didn't see him comin', didn't see him go
But Now I'm gonna find him and kill 'em real slow

[verse 2]
Joe, he wasn't handsome, no not a good man
He had no money and he had no plan
But he went a courtin', won my girl away
And now I'm gonna find him, gonna make him pay

[chorus]
If it wasn't for that ol' Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd a been married a long time ago,
Didn't see ya comin', didn't see you go
Now I'm gonna find ya and kill ya real slow

[verse 3]
My gal was so pretty, my gal was so true
But now she's with Joe and I'm feelin' so blue
Can't stand the pain, can't stand the sorrow
Don't really know if I'll make it tomorrow

[chorus]
If it wasn't for that ol' Cotton-eyed Joe,
I'd a been married a long time ago,
Didn't see ya comin', didn't see you go
Now I'm gonna find ya and kill ya real slow

[verse 4]
Why'd you do me wrong, we'd been friends all along
But now I'm left here broken, so sad and so alone
I loved her with all my heart, she said we'd never part
Now all I do is weep and moan, don't know where to start

[spoken word]
I'm gonna find ya Joe...I'm gonna find ya
