Lyrics Jump Sturdy - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Jump Sturdy

Some people say she used to dance with the fish
Others say she juggled fire in a dish
She raised her hand and caused a 'lectrical storm
Down by the Bayou Saint John
She was a treacherous lady
She never made me much harm
One day she ducked past the station house
Turned on the fire alarm
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson
On Melpomene and Erato Street
Queen Julia Jackson Zozo Labrique
Jump Sturdy died in defeat
She was a treacherous lady
She never met much harm
One day she ducked past the station house
Turned on the fire alarm
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name
She came out the swamps like a crazy fool
