June Tenth Jamboree (Remastered)

June Tenth Jamboree (Remaster) - Louis Jordan

I want to tell you a story from 'way back:

Truck on down and gig me jack

In eighteen hundred and sixty-five

A hep cat started some jive

He said "Come on gates and jump with me

At the Juneteenth Jamboree "

The rhythm was swinging at the picnic ground

Fried chicken floating all around;

Everybody there was full of glee

At the Juneteenth Jamboree

Trumpets blaring in the air

Mellow barbecue everywhere

Clarinets moaning in the hall;

All the gates was having a ball

They didn't know how to cut no rug

But all the cats had a gal and jug

Everybody happy as they could be

At the Juneteenth Jamboree
