CarlZen | Origins: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? (133* d) | RE: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? | 07 Sep 99 |
On the fringes of folk, Michelle Shocked did a version on her "Arkansas Traveler" CD. She transposed the lyrics so they told the story of a young pregnant girl asking where Cotton Eyed Joe (the father) "came from, where did you go?"..... an interesting part of the folk process IMHO. |
