Subject: Lyr Add: ALABAMA JUBILEE^^

Here's one version that I found at the local library, quite some time back.

ALABAMA JUBILEE

You ought to see Mister Jones when he rattles his bones
Old Colonel Brown foolin' 'round like a clown
Miss Virginia who is past eight three
Shoutin' I'm full o' pep
Watch yo' step, watch yo' step
One legged Joe danced around on his toe
Threw away his crutch and hollered, "Let 'er go"
Oh, honey, Hail! Hail!
The gang's all here for the Alabama Jubilee.

Jack Yellin and George Cobb

And here's a version that I recall from many years ago - do not remember who recorded it. - maybe Red Foley?

ALABAMA JUBILEE

You ought to see Deacon Jones when he rattles his bones
Old Parson Brown dancin' 'round like a clown
Ole Aunt Jemima, past eight three
Shoutin' out full o' pep
Watch yo' step, watch yo' step
One legged Joe dancin' 'round on his toe
Thows away his crutch and hollers, "Hey, let 'er go"
Oh, honey, Hail! Hail!
The gang's all here for the Alabama Jubilee.
