Текст песни Jump Down Spin Around - Harry Belafonte, William Attaway & Robert DeCormier

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 a ′skeeta 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,(sound) cook a mess o′greens,
Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a pot a day
Gotta jump down,(sound 2x) cook a mess o′greens
Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a pot a day
Gotta cook a pot a day
Gotta spin around
Spin around
Jump down
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 jump down, spin around and tote a pail o′ water
Gotta jump down, spin around and tote a pail a day

Little Sally jumped down
Tote a pail of water
Little Joe jumped
Tote a pail a day
Little sally jumped down
Little joe jumped down
Gotta tote a pail of water
Gotta jump down (whoop)
Tote a pail of water
Gotta jump down (whoop 2x)
Tote a pail a day
Gotta jump down (drum)
Spin around (drum)
Tota pail of water
Gotta jump down spin around tote a pail a day

I don't know but I′ve been told,
A gopher really don't live in a hole
He don't?
Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail o′ water,
Gotta jump down, spin around and 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

Won't pick a bail of cotton
Won′t tote a pail of water
Won't cook a mess of greens
Won′t sweat a pail a day
Won't jump down spin around
Spin around
Won′t jump down, spin around, sweat a pail o water
Won't jump down spin around and sweat a pail a day
