We went dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow Grabbed a spot on the rock where the river rolls Every woman every man loves The Log Jam Band And goes dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
When you’re down in the mouth and the times are grim They will tickle your ribs at the Elbow Inn ‘Cause seein’ bras on the ceilin’ you can’t help but grin And go dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow Grab a spot on the rock where the river rolls Every woman every man loves The Log Jam Band And goes dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Old man Sheldon runs Sheldon’s store Born he claims back in nineteen hundred and four He’s just pullin’ our legs right across the floor Got us dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Of all the sights we’ve seen and the places we’ve been You can have your giant peanut and your muffler men ‘Cause when the river gets to risin’ nothin’ saves your skin Like dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
La la la la la la la la la la (2X) You can tell all your friends that it ain’t no kinda sin To go dancin’ on the devil’s elbow La la la la la la la la la la (2X) In a state called, “MO.” we’re all good to go Dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Still the good Lord knows You best stay on your toes When you’re dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow La la la la la la (4X)
