...JUMP STURDY... by Dr. John -----------------............ *from 'Gris Gris' (1968)* Chorus 1: 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. 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. Verse 1: People say she used to dance with the fish, Some people say she juggled fire in a dish. Clear days on the Bayou St John, She raised her hands and caused e-lectrical storms. Bridge 1: She was a trachrous lady; she never meant much harm. One day she ducked past the station house; She turned on the fire a-larm. Verse 2: Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson, Down on Melba, meeting near Rattle Street. Queen Julia Jackson dropped a zozola brick, And Jump Sturdy died with her soul, in defeat. Chorus 2: 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. 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. Coda: Jump Sturdy...Jump Sturdy... Was her...name.
