Текст песни 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

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 of turnip
Gotta jump down, spin around and weed a patch of 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 jump down, 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 pot a day
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 (woo) tote a pail o' water
Little Joey jumped down (woo) tote a pail a day
Little Sally jumped down, little Joey jumped down
Gotta tote a pail o' water, gotta jump down, woo
Tote a pail o' water
Gotta jump down, woo-woo, tote a pail a day
Gotta jump down, spin around, 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 (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 pail of cotton (won't tote a pail o' water)
Won't cook a mess of green (won't sweat a pail a day)

Won't jump down, spin around, spin around, spin around
Spin around, spin around, spin around
Won't jump down, spin around, sweat of pail o' water
Won't jump down, spin around, sweat a pail a day
Won't jump down, spin around, sweat of pail o' water
Won't jump down, spin around, sweat a pail a day
