If it hadn't 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?
Если б не Ватноглазый Джо,
Я б женатым был давно!
Ты откуда взялся? И куда ты шёл?
Ты откуда взялся, Ватный Джо?
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!
Он ворвался в город, как зимний ураган,
Он ехал по полям, красавец и силач,
Глаза — прицел, а улыбка — ружьё,
Но всё, чего он хотел — это повеселиться!
