Lyrics

Row Jimmy

Julie catch a rabbit by his hair Come back step, like to walk on air Get back home where you belong And don't you run off no more Don't hang your head let the two-time roll Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor Ask the time? Baby I don't know Come back later, we'll let it show And I say row, Jimmy row Gonna get there? I don't know Seems a common way to go Get down, row, row, row Row, row Here's my half a dollar if you dare Double twist when you hit the air Look at Julie down below The levee doin the do-pas-o And I say row, Jimmy, row Gonna get there? I don't know Seems a common way to go Get down, row, row, row Row, row Broken heart don't feel so bad Ain't got half a what you thought you had Rock your baby to and fro Not too fast and not too slow And I say row, Jimmy, row Gonna get there? I don't know Seems a common way to go Get down, row, row, row Row, row That's the way it's been in town Ever since they tore the juke box down Two-bit piece don't buy no more Not so much as it done before And I say row, Jimmy, row Gonna get there? I don't know Seems a common way to go Get down, row, row, row Row, row
