Prodigal Daughter

Our boy's come back home When a girl goes home with the oats he's sown It's draw your shades and your shutters She's bringing such shame to the family name The return of the prodigal daughter Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe Went to see the doctor and I almost died When he told my mama, Lordy how she cried Me and my daddy were never too close But he was there when I needed him most Look here comes a prodigal son Fetch him a tall drink of water But there's none in the cup because he drank it all up Left for the prodigal daughter Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe Had not've been for the Cotton-eyed Joe I'd have been married a long time ago Out in the cornfield I stubbed my toe I called out for the doctor Cotton-eyed Joe
