[Verse 1]
Jawboen eat it
Jawbone talk
Jawbone eat it with a knife and fork
Jawbone eat it
Jawbone talk
Y'all gon' eat it with a knife and a fork

[Chorus]
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The people gonna wait till the sun goes down
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The people gonna wait till the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
Cornbread rough and cornbread tough
Thank God almighty got corn bread 'nuff
Cornbread rough and cornbread tough
Thank God almighty got corn bread 'nuff

[Chorus]
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The people gonna wait till the sun goes down
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The peoplе gonna wait till the sun goes down

[Verse 3]
Old hen laid in a boilеr stack
[?] come along and broke her back
Old hen laid in a boiler stack
[?] come along and broke her back

[Chorus]
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The people gonna wait till the sun goes down
Way down yonder by the jaybird town
The people gonna wait till the sun goes down

[Verse 4]
Hog [?] law
Hog come back with a broken jaw
Hog [?] law
Hog come back with a broken jaw
