Ladies man #1

I am sitting at my desk trying to study for an important exam. But can I concentrate? No. You see, there is a dance going on about a block from my office. The music is loud. The DJ is obnoxious. I am annoyed. However, I feel inspired to share the inspirational lyrics of the very special song that's playing right now. They mean the world to me:

"If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe, I'd been married a long time ago. Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come from Cotton-Eye Joe?

He came to town like a midwinter storm. He rode through the fields so hansome and strong. His eyes was his tools and his smile was his gun. But all he had come for was having some fun.

He brought disaster wherever he went. The hearts of the girls was to hell broken sent. They all ran away so nobody would know. And left only men cause of Cotton-Eye Joe."

A masterwork! My kudos to the songwriter for masterfully weaving tune and verse in such an emotive way. Sounds to me like despite Cotton-Eye Joe's visual impairment, the guy had no trouble bagging chicks. Way to pull yourself up by the old bootstraps, Cotton-Eye Joe!
