WHOOP 'EM UP CINDY

Went upon the mountain top, give my horn a blow
Thought I heard Cindy say 'yonder comes my beau'

Chorus:
Whoop 'em up Cindy, lord, lord
I love Cindy, lord, lord
Whoop 'em up Cindy, lord, lord
Gone forever more

Went up to the mountain top, cut my sugar cane
Every time I cut a stalk, thought about Cindy Jane

Chorus

Cindy she's a rattlin' girl, Cindy she's a rose
How I love Cindy girl, God almighty knows

Chorus

I got a girl in Baltimore, got one in Savanah
One in Baltimore named Lise, other little girl's named Hannah

Chorus

Higher up the mountain top, greener grow the cherries
Sooner the boys court the girls, sooner they get married

Chorus

Cindy in the summertime, Cindy in the fall
If I can't have Cindy all the time, don't want her at all
