Anyone know the history of this tune? Who wrote it or if it's traditional, any other verses, where it came from....
Thanks
SWING AND TURN, JUBILEE
It's all out on the old railroad,
It's all out on the sea,
All out on the old railroad,
Far as I can see.
cho: Swing and turn, Jubilee,
Live and learn, Jubilee.
Hardest work I ever done,
Workin' on the farm,
Easiest work I ever done,
Swingin' my true love's arm.
If I had a needle and thread,
As fine as I could sew,
I'd sew my true love to my side
And down this creek I'd go.
If I had no horese to ride,
I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
Lookin' for my darlin'.
Some will come on a Sat'day night,
Some will come on Sunday;
If you give 'em half a chance
They'll be back on Monday.
I won't have no widder man
Neither will my cousin,
You can get such stuff as that
For fifteen cents a dozen.
Coffee grows on a white oak tree,
Sugar runs in brandy,
Girls are sweet as a lump of gold,
Boys as sweet as candy.
