When the sun comes up in the morning and you hear the dancing boys Mother leave your pots and pans, sister leave your toys If you have to break a camel's back or pull the crowds apart You'll find a way to get there when that old time music starts
Just down the street There's a rattling sound There's a country band Playing hand me down And it's a jamboree
It was in my father's father's time they new a rolling air And the Albion boys will show you how, they sang it everywhere
And if you come along with us you're numbered as a friend And the faded flower of England will rise and bloom again
Just down the street There's a rattling sound There's a country band Playing hand me down And it's a jamboree
The dancers standing three and three are a most illustrious sight If someone saw a better one then you surely know he lied
You can hear the bells a-ringing as the singer calls them on They can dance away the night and day and never step it wrong
