Texas Style Cotton Eye Joe aka: "The Bullshit Song" the Original Way

[WiIdbiII]

I grew up in Houston... you could'nt have a Polish or German wedding reception without this dance, Funnest memoriies of my life next to riding a rollercoaster.

4 counts of (over out leg kicks backwards)

8 counts "123" travel forward. . . pretty easy and fun : )

[FilmerOfBobcats]

Now THIS is the version I've always heard on Texas dance floors! Not the "would've been married long time ago" version.

[bastroping]

I'm happy to see the dance done right!!!!

[rachielej]

This was very big along the Arizona-Sonoran border in the early 1970's. Brings back great memories!

[carloslg83]

HELL YES!!! THE REAL Texas Cotton Eye Joe!!!!!!! WOOOOOhooooooo sorry for all the caps...

[crystalstacker]

There is a song that has often played after Sweats version of the Cotton Eyed Joe does anyone know the name of it.... I have heard it referred to as the "Schottische" but have no idea who sings it.

[carloslg83]

@crystalstacker same artist... Isaac Payton Sweat and thats the name of the song. Search for it in the iTunes store!!

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THE TEXAS WAY IT'S DONE!!!!! What is that other thing those people keep doing???

[classof13hhs]

im so glad i found the real Texas version to this song!!! i've been looking for SO long! no one does it like Texans do!

[writeback21]

I'm so glad to see this! I grew up in Texas, and this is definitely how the Cotten Eyed Joe is done. I live in NY now, and they do some crazy-a version here and don't even know they're doing it wrong. :-)

[dlhaase]

I saw the new cotton eyed joe and my first thought was WTF...My ex husband was from Texas and I always remembered the last song was this....GREAT thanks for this song.

[tjsiemion]

THANK YOU for posting this!! What is with this crap - all these weird "cotton eye joe" dances? I've seen ONE that looks decent, and the rest are just awful. But THIS is how it's done!

@maplebanks Come on down to Austin and have a Chicken Fried Steak with cream gravy at the Broken Spoke. A hundred Chicken Fried Steaks later you will sing a different tune, dude or dudette.

Finally the real Cotton Eyed Joe by Isaac Payton Sweat. I played this song as a DJ at the Peanut Gallery Dance Hall/ Bar in College Station back in the 1974-1975 era. It was played twice nightly, once early, and finally the last song of the night. Aggies loved it and so did I. Especially after drinking all those Lone Star, and Budweiser suds. Gig 'em Aggies!

[jdh6465]

this version was done by Isaac Payton Sweat

[thor3002]

[SModikoane]

Thanks for posting the real song. That other one is, uh, bullshit!

[GeorgieWise]

More fat cowboys have been laid after getting a girl to dance to this song than any other one I can think of. Except maybe: She Loves You. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

[hwk422]

[torresfamily1998]

[moomay11649]

Actually it was 1976 and I was 27 years old.

But I sure remember the "Bullshit" song.

It was like being at a big wedding reception.

Everyone was so friendly!
