Prodigal Son  - Cotton-Eyed John
Michelle Shocked

(A - D - A - E - A - D - A - E - A)
(A)What's to be done with a (D)prodigal (E)son?
(A)Welcome him (D)home with (A)open (E)arms
(A)Throw a big party, in(D)vite your (A)friends
Our boy's (E)come back (A)home (E - A - E - D - E -)

When a (A)girl goes home with the (D)oats he's (E)sown
It's (A)draw your (D)shades and your (A)shutters (E)
She's (A)bringing such shame to the (D)family (E)name
The re(A)turn of the (E)prodigal (D)daughter
(E)Singing, (A)oh (E)Cotton Eyed (D)Joe (E)

(A)Went to see a doctor and I (D)almost (E)died
(A)When I told my (D)mama, Lordy, (A)how she (E)cried
(A)Me and my daddy were (D)never too (A)close
But he was (D)there when I (A)needed him (E)most

(A)Look, here comes a (D)prodigal (E)son
(A)Fetch him a (D)tall drink of (A)water (E)
But there's (A)none in the cup 'cause he (A)drank it all (E)up
(A)Left for a (E)prodigal (D)daughter
(E)Singing, (A)oh (E)Cotton Eyed (D)Joe (E)

(A - D - A - E - A - D - A - E - A)

Oh Cotton Eyed Joe
Oh Cotton Eyed Joe

Had not have been for the Cotton Eyed Joe
I'd have been married a long time ago
Oh, I'd have been married a long time ago

Out in the cornfield I stubbed my toe
I called for the doctor, Cotton Eyed Joe
I called for the doctor, Cotton Eyed Joe

Look, here comes a prodigal son
Fetch him a tall drink of water
But there's none in the cup 'cause he drank it all up
Left for a prodigal daughter
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
Singing, oh Cotton Eyed Joe
