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

Texans don't like line dancing, with one exception. When this song is done at the end of the night it is a real crowd pleaser. If you don't know how to dance the Cotton Eyed Joe yet (the real way) you will, two and a half minutes from now. That new Cotton Eye Joe Dance, what's with that?

OMG ~ I remember this song from the early '70's when I was in Texas. They really know how to party in Corpus Christi.

Loves,

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!

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.

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

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