...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.
