Uncle Joe Gimme Mo' - Wilmoth Houdini

Our uncle Joe
Our uncle Joe
Gimme mo' gimme mo' gimme mo'
Play that thing on the old banjo

All the young girls begin to sing
Some of them begin to shake that thing
Some of them throw themselves on the floor
Shouting uncle Joe gimme mo' gimme mo'

A fellow and his lover came here that night
Himself and uncle Joe nearly fight
For when he tell his lover "come go"
She says "look, I waitin' for uncle Joe"

That night, uncle Joe was so vexed
Coming here, I rarely regret
'Cause the young girl shake up they thing
Cause me to bust up me banjo string

Just tell me what you intend to do
Don't you know I'm engaged to you
I don't want to see, nor to know
I am not lovin' that uncle Joe

Uncle Joe, boy, you come in time
Houdini now make up his mind
Tell the world I am going to wine
From eight o'clock until half past nine

A schoolteacher was there that day
This is what I came ?down to say
She took a drink and she break away
And she shook that thing for a half a day
