June Tenth Jamboree - Original |
I want to tell you a story from 'way back: |
Truck on down and gig me, jack |
In eighteen hundred and sixty-five |
A hep cat started some jive |
He said, «Come on, gates, and jump with me |
At the Juneteenth Jamboree.» |
The rhythm was swinging at the picnic ground |
Fried chicken floating all around; |
Everybody there was full of glee |
Trumpets blaring in the air |
Mellow barbecue everywhere |
Clarinets moaning in the hall; |
All the gates was having a ball |
They didn’t know how to cut no rug |
But all the cats had a gal and jug |
Everybody happy as they could be |
At the Juneteenth Jamboree! |
