Standard (EADGBE)
Julie catch a rabbit by his hair
Come back steppin' like to walk on air
Get back home where you belong
And don't you run off no more.
Riff
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, gonna let it show.
I say row Jimmy row,
Gonna get there, I don't know,
Seems a common way to go,
Get out and row, row, row, row, row.
(Follow the second verse form for verses 3 & 4)
Here's a half dollar if you dare
Double twist when you hit the air,
Look at Julie down below,
The levee doin' the do-pas-o.
Broken heart don't feel so bad,
You ain't got half of what you thought you had.
Rock your baby to and fro
Not too fast and not too slow.
That's the way it's been in town,
Ever since they tore the jukebox down.
Two bit piece don't buy no more,
Not so much as it done before.
