HAPPY JACK
(Hudson Whittaker (Tampa Red))

Now, Happy Jack is so happy, he taken it after his pappy.
He never worries 'bout nothing at all but love.
Now, when he steps out strutting, the ladies all start flirting
With Happy Jack from down in Alabam'.

Now, when he dance, and when he sing, he's always got that swing.
The ladies all have figured out he must have got that certain thing.
For when he starts his hi-de-ho, the ladies all wish that they could go
With Happy Jack from down in Alabam'.

(Repeat)
