In That Great Getting' Up Morning Lyrics
In That Great Getting' Up Morning - Harry Belafonte
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Great God almighty was
The working man's friend
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
I gotta pull this timber
Before the sun go down
Headed cross that river
Brfore the boss come around
Drag it on down that dusty road
Come on Jerry let's tote that load
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Well my old Jerry is a Arkansas mule
Been everywhere and he ain't no fool
Work get heavy old Jerry get slow
Pull so much he won't pull no more
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Well the boss kicked Jerry
And he made him jump
Jerry riding kick that boss on the rump
My old Jerry is a good old mule
Had-a been me Lord I'd a kill that fool
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Well the boss tried
To shoot old Jerry in the head
Jerry ducked the bullet
And he stomped him dead
Stomped that boss til I wanted to scream
Should-a killed him
Cause he's so damn mean
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
I gotta pull this timber before the sun go down
Headed cross that river before the boss come around
Drag it on down that dusty road
Come on Jerry let's tote that load
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
Great God almighty was the working man's friend
Did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear did you did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear did you hear about Jerry
Did you hear about Jerry
