Michelle Shocked - Prodigal Daughter Lyrics
Michelle Shocked (Poly Gram Songs, Inc)What's to be done with a prodigal son?Welcome him home with open armsThrow a big party, invite your friendsOur boy's come back home When a girl goes home with the oats he's sownIt's draw your shades and your shuttersShe's bringing such shame to the family nameThe return of the prodigal daughterSinging, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe Went to see the doctor and I almost diedWhen he told my mama, Lordy how she criedMe and my daddy were never too closeBut he was there when I needed him most Look here comes a prodigal sonFetch him a tall drink of waterBut there's none in the cup because he drank it all upLeft for the prodigal daughterSinging, Oh Cotton-eyed Joe Had not've been for the Cotton-eyed JoeI'd have been married a long time agoOut in the cornfield I stubbed my toeI called out for the doctor Cotton-eyed Joe
