JUEVES - LYRICS ("Cotton Eye Joe")

- Cotton Eye Joe – Rednex

Were hadn't it 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.

Were hadn't it 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.

Were hadn't it 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)

- Notas: Sí, al ver el video y escuchar la canción a mí también me entraron las ganas de encerrarlos en ese granero y tirarles una bomba atómica o gasearlos con Cucal, pero tiene que haber música para todos los gustos.
La canción en si es más antigua que la potito pero allá por 1850 o 1900 se cantaba con una letra distinta a la que en 1995 (aproximadamente) le pusiera el grupo Rednex. El tema está claro: Un guaperas que va de ciudad en ciudad zumbándose a todas las mujeres que pilla, dejándolas preñaditas y haciendo que por vergüenza huyan de casa, motivo por la cual en el pueblo del cantante no hay mujeres y no tengan más alternativas que casarse con una cabra o una vaca si quieren tener familia.
