katlaughing	Origins: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? (133* d)	Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite?	06 Sep 99
Just wondering if anyone knows the background of this song, besides it's being an example of the prejudice of past society. Was there a real "Joe" or is it from a composite of experiences? Who wrote it? Where, exactly did it come from? Does anyone perform it? What about offending? I know it has been popular among C&W fans and there is a dance named after it and danced to it.
