Danced this at our wedding close to 40 years ago. It was the dance everybody in San Antonio had to have at every prom, wedding and quiceanera! God Bless Texas.
You betcha! 40 years ago, eh? You must be around my age: I grew up in San Antonio, and since have lived in North, South, East and West Texas…all God’s country! I graduated from Highlands H.S.: so many happy memories, including going out to the Golden Stallion after 18 and dancing…this was ALWAYS something we did! I adopted several kids: my daughter is from Korea and we always try to do Korean cultural things, but this Fall, thinking about taking her to WurstFest and Gruene Hall to show her some of MY culture! ❤ God bless Texas!!!

I remember seeing a bunch of country-folk dancing “Cotton-Eye Joe” at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas. Pretty awesome to see. Since then, I have liked this song, but only performed by these guys.
OMG, can that boy play the fiddle!! I was going thru RUclips this morning when I came across this video. I thought I’d listen to it. WOW, it blew me away. That kid that wears the cowboy hat, please don’t let anything happen to him! He’s awesome!!! 😃😃😃😃

I won tickets off AM radio to see these guys live at the Mule Lip Saloon in Colton, CA back in the 80s! Talk about kicking-A! The dance floor was a former JCPenny's or something. 3-D line dancing, surround sound, barber chair tip over shots, lines waiting for men's and women's bathrooms. It had it all!
@@dorothadavis3117 A fiddle (violin) can indeed be picked, plucked, or strummed, but most often it is bowed. A guitar can be picked, hammered, plucked, pulled off, beat, or strummed.
This used to be the one and only official song that you would hear at SA Spurs games, back in the day. Can't really say much for the crap they play at the games now.
anyone playing a music instrument gets my ultimate respect..I can only dance to any genre ..but to have an eye/ear for entertainment is mega awesome!! ..moi
an old friend of mine, MaryannBishop, we worked at UT together , RIP, she so loved this group, went to see them all the time to dance , think she knew them, go austin.
YEEEEHAAAAAW!!! Hell, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! That's one of my favorite bluegrass/traditional country songs. I'm a Sand Mountain Alabama native and was raised up listening to songs like that (in addition to The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, and The Who, of course). Every time I hear bluegrass, I get chills and goosebumps because it's the music of my people, most of whom came from Scotland, Ireland, and northern England. Celtic music evolved into bluegrass over here, so to say there's a similarity is being redundant. Bluegrass IS Celtic music, and I'm proud to be a Celt.
I know I've listened to this before, but WOW, what a rendition of this tune! Can't believe this is on here for 12 yrs & over 1.1 million views but only 317 comments. Guess they left everyone speechless!!
Here's an idea if you like epic music. 💡 You need to listen to Mötley Crüe! They are epic and they have the best drummer ever! HE CAN EVEN PLAY UPSIDE DOWN!!! Look up Kickstart My Heart, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home, Primal Scream, the albums Too Fast For Love, Shout At the Devil, Dr. Feelgood, and Tommy's drum solos. You won't regret it.
There ya go! I'm from AZ, and we got a sayin' here, "Texans love three things: Backyard barbeques, high-school football, and COTTON-EYED JOE" (especially when there's a fiddle in the band)!
Me and my future wife. Are gonna have a shot gun wedding here in Dallas Texas, how can. I get a hold of this group... I would be honored to have your at the wedding. Plz contact me...
Oh my god massive amounts of credits on the fiddle and overall jammin toe stompin enjoyment of this tune. Man the only thing I wanted was more of the lyics. But a very nicely done cover. Thank you.
Danced this at our wedding close to 40 years ago. It was the dance everybody in San Antonio had to have at every prom, wedding and quiceanera! God Bless Texas.
That is cool as hell you danced to that at your wedding!!! And Happy 40th anniversary!!!
Excellent! Congrats! (It also played at every one of my Ft Worth high school dances and all the church youth dances when i was a teen).

An 800 year old Scottish song that's had the lyrics changed several times and reintroduced with a modified slip-jig back in the 1970s. Love it.
Hello how are you doing…?
What's the name of the original Scottish song?
😳 *800* years old??
Cotten eyed Joe is slang for clamida
What is the name of the og song?
This band is phenomenal and that guy really plays the fiddle well.
He is no longer with the band
Better version
hes my dad
I could listen to Jason Roberts play fiddle all day every day.
Devil look out
+Sam Marcum ...okay, But no work done? LOL...mos60
Yessir. Brother Bob Wills is proud.
Love Asleep At The Wheel! Such an immensely talented group of musicians, and those 3-4-5-part harmonies are where it's at!
I saw them in concert in the mid-80's along with Bugs Henderson and the Shuffle Kings.
That fiddler is fantastic!
through the decades with all the different lineup changes, amazing musicianship has been a constant.
That fiddle player is top-notch.
We have seen Jadon Roberts several times with A Sleep at the Wheel and on his own. And he’s super
God bless classic country!!
Country music to the core No rock guitars. All,Steel guitar
Spoke with Jason before.. He got my CD autographed. EASY on the eyes and ADORABLE!!! So sweet!
I remember seeing a bunch of country-folk dancing “Cotton-Eye Joe” at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth, Texas. Pretty awesome to see. Since then, I have liked this song, but only performed by these guys.
Jason, the best fiddle player !
I do like his way to perform country songs !
OMG, can that boy play the fiddle!! I was going thru RUclips this morning when I came across this video. I thought I’d listen to it. WOW, it blew me away. That kid that wears the cowboy hat, please don’t let anything happen to him! He’s awesome!!! 😃😃😃😃

He's no longer with them. Texas Playboys under the Direction of Jason Roberts and Jason Roberts zbzsnd. both on RUclips
You should hear Jason sing Amarillo by Morning. You'll swear it's George.
Look for Jason Roberts Band and Texas Playboy's under the direction of Jason Roberts. He is no longer with Asleep At The Wheel. I worked with his Dad
I love Asleep at the Wheel and this song
Twin Texas fiddles, it can't be beat.
From South Central Texas and Cotton yet Joe is always paid at wedding's. I love how to dance to this back in the 70's. Bullshit!!
Hey how are you doing…?
Yeeee Hawwww!!!!! Jason Roberts & Ray Benson...amongst the best ever in the industry!!
There's a big difference between people who play music and musicians.
The current crop of pop-tarts play music. Asleep at the Wheel are MUSICIANS!
You got that right!!!
Happy 50th anniversary Asleep At The Wheel
Jason Roberts can damn sure play! Ol' Bob is up there somewhere up there hollering!
And Johnny Gimble too - he's related by marriage
My dad too and merle and Gordon!!
I wanna yell, "Bullshit!" like in Urban Cowboy! 😁👍
VERN TX
Still love these older classics, well played !

Ticks me off too old to dance to & don't remember steps but...sure was fun! Never had or have a weight problem!
Long life to Asleep at the wheel!
I don't care what kind of music you're into.....that dude can really pick that fiddle!!!!
PICK the fiddle ?? dang I can't stop laughing , PICK a fiddle really ??? you PICK a guitar NOT a fiddle!!! lol lol lol
@@dorothadavis3117 wanna bet
JENNA PEARTREE excuse me picking a fiddle is done and I know that. That is a part of the music being played at the moment
I’m not into country music much, but this transcends all genres by simply being awesome!

Great version of this classic tune.
True real country and western music love these guys. After living in Texas you see what being proud is all about...
This used to be the one and only official song that you would hear at SA Spurs games, back in the day.
Can't really say much for the crap they play at the games now.
Asleep at the wheel still cool Western swing
My family as been in Texas since 1865!
Mine showed up in Texas a little earlier....1838. I’ve been asked if I would want to live anywhere else, As long as it’s in Texas I said.
I use to do the Cotten Eyed Joe in the early 70s/mid...went out about 10 yrs ago...wasn't the same...all the old dances had been changed up...sadly.
anyone playing a music instrument gets my ultimate respect..I can only dance to any genre ..but to have an eye/ear for entertainment is mega awesome!! ..moi
I could never even learn to read music!
Wow! Fiddler be cute! Hubba hubba!
;)
If you want to play in Texas...
an old friend of mine, MaryannBishop, we worked at UT together , RIP, she so loved this group, went to see them all the time to dance , think she knew them, go austin.

The 99 thumbs down, or whatever it will eventually be, on this vid must be from pop country lovers. Awesome performance!!
There ya go! I'm from AZ, and we got a sayin' here, "Texans love three things: Backyard barbeques, high-school football, and COTTON-EYED JOE" (especially when there's a fiddle in the band)!
If there aint got a fiddle in the band, it aint Texas swing.
@@billsanders5067 HELL, if there ain't a fiddle in the band, it ain't worth it, boy!
There is one other thing Texans love, sitting in a deer blind at 0600 the day after Thanksgiving.
Where in AZ boy?
