Jump Down Spin Around - Harry Belafonte

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and pick a bale of cotton

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and pick a bale a day

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and pick a bale of cotton

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and pick a bale a day

I saw 'skeeter on my head,

Blinked his eye and I killed him dead

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and weed a patch o'turnip,

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and weed a patch a day

Gotta weed a patch o' turnip

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and weed a patch o'turnip

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and weed a patch a day

I saw a gal in calico,

She tripped and fell, and she didn't say hello

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and cook a mess o'greens,

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and cook a pot a day

Gotta cook a mess o'greens

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and cook a mess o'greens

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and cook a pot a day

I got a pig who's nice and greasy,

All you ladies shake it easy

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and tote a pail o' water,

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and tote a pail a day

Gotta tote a pail a day

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and tote a pail o' water

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and tote a pail a day

I don't know but I've been told,

A gopher really don't live in a hole

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and sweat a pail o' water,

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and sweat a pail a day

Gotta sweat a pail a day

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and sweat a pail o' water

Gotta Jump Down, Spin Around and sweat a pail a day
