What`s to be done with a prodigal son?
Welcome him home with open arms
Throw a big party, invite your friends
Our boy`s come back home
When a girl goes home with the oats he`s sown
It`s draw your shades and your shutters
She`s bringing such shame to the family name
The return of the prodigal daughter
Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe
Went to see the doctor and I almost died
When he told my mama, Lordy how she cried
Me and my daddy were never too close
But he was there when I needed him most
Look here comes a prodigal son
Fetch him a tall drink of water
But there`s none in the cup because he drank it all up
Left for the prodigal daughter
Singing, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe
Had not`ve been for the Cotton-eyed Joe
I`d have been married a long time ago
Out in the cornfield I stubbed my toe
I called out for the doctor Cotton-eyed Joe Send " Prodigal Daughter" Ringtone to your Cell
