The Other Woman / Cotton Eyed Joe - Nina Simone

The other woman finds time to manicure her nails

The other woman is perfect where her rival fails

And she’s never seen with pin curls in her hair

The other woman enchantes her clothes with French perfume

The other woman keeps fresh cut flowers in each room

There are never toys that’s scattered everywhere

And when her baby comes to call

He’ll find her waiting like a lonesome queen

Cos when she’s by his side

It’s such a change from old routine

But the other woman will always cry herself to sleep

The other woman will never have his love to keep

And as the years go by the other woman

Will spend her life alone

Where do you come from where do you go

Where do you come from Cotton Eyed Joe

I come for to see you and I come for to sing

And I come for to show you my diamond ring

If it hadn’t a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe

Well I’d a-been married a long time ago

Oh where do you come from where do you go

Where do you come from where do you go

Where do you come from where do you go

My Cotton Eyed Joe

Tell me where do you come from and where do you go

Tell me where do you come from my Cotton Eyed Joe

Well I come for to see you and I come for to sing

And I come for to show you my diamond ring

Oh Joe if you hadn’t been so slow

Well I’d a-been married a long time ago

Where do you come from where do you go

Where do you come from where do you go

I come for to see you and I come for to sing

And I come for to show you my diamond ring

Well if it hadn’t a-been for Cotton Eyed Joe

Well I’d a-been married a long time ago

Oh where do you come from where do you go

My my Cotton Eyed Joe
