Jean Ritchie - Singing The Traditional Songs Of Her Kentucky Mountain Family

Jubilee

It's all out on the old railroad
All out on the sea
All out on the old railroad
Far as I can see

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee

Hardest work I ever done
Workin' on a farm
Easiest work I ever done
Swingin' my true love's arm

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee

If I had a new needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
Down this creek I'd go

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee

If I had no horse to ride,
I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
Lookin' for my darlin'

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee

Some will come on Saturday night,
Some will come on Sunday;
If you give 'em half a chance
They'll be back on Monday

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee

I won't have no widder man
Neither will my cousin,
You can get such stuff as that
For fifteen cents a dozen

Swing and turn, jubilee
Live and learn, jubilee
