Traditional
Traditionnelle
If
it
hadn′t
been
for
cotton-eye
joe
Si
ce
n'était
pas
pour
Cotton-Eye
Joe
I'd
been
married
long
time
ago
Je
me
serais
mariée
il
y
a
longtemps
Where
did
you
come
from.
Where
did
you
go?
D'où
viens-tu?
Où
es-tu
allé
?
Where
did
you
come
from
cotton-eye
joe?
D'où
viens-tu,
Cotton-Eye
Joe
?
(Repeat)
(Refrains)
He
came
to
town
like
a
midwinter
storm
Il
est
venu
en
ville
comme
une
tempête
de
milieu
d'hiver
He
rode
through
the
fields
so
Il
chevaucha
à
travers
les
champs,
si
Handsome
and
strong
Beau
et
fort
His
eyes
was
his
tools
and
his
smile
was
his
gun
Ses
yeux
étaient
ses
outils
et
son
sourire
son
arme
But
all
he
had
come
for
was
having
some
fun
Mais
tout
ce
qu'il
était
venu
chercher,
c'était
s'amuser
(Repeat
intro)
(Répétez
l'intro)
He
brought
disaster
wherever
he
went
Il
a
apporté
le
désastre
partout
où
il
allait
The
hearts
of
the
girls
was
to
hell
broken
sent
Les
cœurs
des
filles
étaient
brisés
à
jamais
They
all
ran
away
so
nobody
would
know
Elles
se
sont
toutes
enfuies
pour
que
personne
ne
le
sache
And
left
only
men
cause
of
cotton-eye
joe
Et
n'ont
laissé
que
des
hommes
à
cause
de
Cotton-Eye
Joe
(Repeat
intro)
