lirik lagu pawns or kings - cotton eyed joe (the murder ballad)
he came to town like a mid~winter storm
rode through the fields so handsome and adored
he was passing every woman in town
i guess he heard there weren’t no law around
said, all he’d come for was fun
i’d loved eileen since we first met
and on her laurels, torches were set
the sights of his eyes were, angel~like white
no holsters; his smile was his gun
[chorus]
well if it hadn’t been for cotton~еyed joe
i’d been married a long timе ago
where did you come from? where did you go?
and who you on the run from, cotton~eyed joe?
i hadn’t seen my love for near a week
same amount i didn’t see that sneak
then a bobby~man pulled up, quick as the rain
askin’ of i knew a man with a peculiar name
then he told the truth~ i just couldn’t bear
joe brought disaster wherever he went
the hearts of girls was to h~ll~ broken and set
if he’d had a heartbeat i’d have concrete filler
known out east as the, “cotton~eyed k!ller.”
and he’d caught my eileen in his snare
[chorus]
well if it hadn’t been for cotton~eyed joe
i’d been married a long time ago
where did you come from? where did you go?
and who you on the run from, cotton~eyed joe?
you can run for as long as you want to
you can’t rest for the day that you die
i’ll be there in every shadow you come through
this mule ain’t young enough to take us both alive
you might also like
[chorus]
well if it hadn’t been for cotton~eyed joe
i’d been buried a long time ago
where did you come from? where did you go?
it’s me you on the run from, cotton~eyed joe!
