Red Foley - Alabama Jubilee

 

You ought to see deacon Jones

When he rattles the bones,

Old parson Brown foolin' 'roun like a clown,

Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three,

Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep!

Watch yo' step!, watch yo' step!

One legged Joe danced aroun' on his toe,

Threw away his crutch and hollered, "let 'er go!"

Oh, honey, hail! hail! the gang's all here

For an Alabama jubilee
