Tags: Cotton Eyed Joe, Dancing, Country Dance, Line Dance
"If it hadnt been for cotton-eye joe; I'd been married long time ago; where did you come from; where did you go? " Hearing these lyrics may bring dread into the ear of someone who doesn't know the dance. Below is how you can have a great time at your get-together and get down to this song.
| 1. | Stick out your right foot and tap the ground with the bottom of the heel twice. |
| 2. | Put your right foot behind you and tap the ground with your toe twice. |
| 3. | Put your right foot even with your left and raise it to your thigh in the front once. |
| 4. | Return it to even-footed position. |
| 5. | Raise it to thigh level behind you. |
| 6. | Return to normal position. |
| 7. | Take 2 steps: first to the right crossing feet right over left then left over right. |
| 8. | Clap with each step. |
| 9. | Spin twirling hand over head pretending to spin a rope until back at same spot. |
| 10. | Repeat until song ends, turn counter clockwise each time you start over. |
