Cuttin' the Body Loose

(Lyrics and music by Chris Huntington)

In the street, they’re havin’ a good ole time
But it’s too late, for the man inside
Everybodys out and in their Sunday best
To keep the soul put the body to rest

Now we’re
Cuttin’ the Body Loose
we’re Cuttin’ the Body Loose

Cotton Eyed Joe lived in a shotgun shack
He’d rifle through front door and straight out the back
Well, two pints of whiskey put his aim to the test
So we praise his soul put his body to rest

Now we’re
Cuttin’ the Body Loose
we’re Cuttin’ the Body Loose

So come on up and let yourself go
It ain’t too late too late to show what you know
Get on your feet to dance your respects,
We’ gonna save the soul and put the body to rest

Now we’re
Cuttin’ the Body Loose
we’re Cuttin’ the Body Loose
