Well, it's good to be back here
I've enjoyed the barbeque and everything here, the supper was fine
Now we would like to have Jeff Logan give us a good number
He can really fiddle with that Cotton-Eyed Joe
Come on, Bill
I'd have been married 40 years ago
If it hadn't been fi' Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe? (Now I play)
Same event, men, did you know?
Chicken in the red, been scratching our dough?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Corn, sell a fiddle and a shoe-stringed boy
Play a little tune called Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Don't you remember? Don't you know?
Daddy worked, a man call Cotton-Eyed Joe
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
Where did you come from? Where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eyed Joe?
After we'd worked on the Grand Ol' Opry and I had the bluegrass voice for a few years
And trying to bring a little something along different as the years come along
I remember my Uncle Penn used to tune different on the fiddle and play some of the old-timers
And so I could tune like he tuned his fiddle
And with this having eight strings, I got to hearing, you know, a harmony that would come in
So I tuned some of them that way to where you could play a little harmony
This is Ralph Rensler's mandolin, and I believe it's in better shape than mine today
