Jumpin’ Judy Lyrics by Alan Lomax

Negro Prison Blues And Songs

1964

Oh well, it's jumpin', jumpin' Judy
Oh well, it's jumpin', jumpin' Judy
Boys, she was a mighty fine gal
Oh well, she brought that jumpin'
Oh well, she brought that jumpin'
Oh well, she brought that jumpin'
Baby, to this whole wide world
Oh well, she brought it in the mornin'
Oh well, she brought it in the mornin'
Oh well, she brought it in the mornin'
Baby, just a little 'fore day
You catch the Illinois Central
You catch the Illinois Central
You catch the Illinois Central
Baby, go to Kankakee
Oh well, and yonder come old Rosie
Oh well, and yonder come old Rosie
Oh boys, yonder come Rosie
Baby, how in the world do you know?
Oh well, I knowed her by her apron
Oh well, I knowed her by her apron
Oh boys, I knowed her by her apron
Baby, red's the dress that she wore
Oh well, she wore a mother [Hubberd?]
Oh well, she wore a mother [Hubberd?]
Oh boys, she wore a mother [Hubberd?]
Baby, like a mornin' gown
Oh well, I heard her tell the sergeant
Oh well, I heard her tell the sergeant
Oh boy, I heard her tell the sergeant
Sir, I've come after my man
"Poor boy, he's been here a-rollin'"
"Poor boy, he's been here a-rollin'"
"Poor boy, he's been here a-rollin'
Baby, for the state so long"
"Oh well, I know he's done got sorry"
"Oh well, I know he done got sorry"
"Oh well, I know he's done got sorry
Daddy, that he ever done wrong"
