You ought to see deacon Jones
When he rattles his bones
Ol' Parson Brown dancin' round like a clown
Ol' Aunt Jemima who is past eighty three
Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep"
Watch yo' step, watch yo' step
One legged Joe dancing round on his toe
Throws away his crutch and hollers, "Hey, let 'er go"
Oh, honey, hail, hail, the gang's all here
For the Alabama jubilee

Mr. Francis Craig and his bones

See deacon Jones rattle his bones
Ol' Parson Brown dance like a clown
Ol' Aunt Jemima, past eighty three
Shoutin' "I'm full o' pep"
Watch yo' step, watch yo' step
One legged Joe, round on his toe
Throws away his crutch and hollers, "Hey, let 'er go"
Oh, honey, hail, hail, the gang's all here
For the Alabama jubilee
