Way down South, where they say "ya'll"
the folks turn out to do the Cotton Patch Hop
It's down the road, about a country mile
you'll see them sharply do the country style
They do the old square dance 'till the broad daylight
at the Cotton Patch Hop on a moonlight night

They feed the chickens, get the milkyin' done
then head for the harbour where they'll have some fun
Now the crowd starts to gather when the sun goes down
the music starts playin' to a solid sound
Somebody fires up a little kerosene light
at the Cotton Patch Hop on a moonlight night

In their calico dresses and their old blue jeans
come the country cowboys with their Cotton Patch queen
They do the old square dance to the rock'n'roll
it looks kind of wild but honey I've been told
They worked all week so I guess it's alright
at the Cotton Patch Hop on a moonlight night
