June Tenth Jamboree (Remastered) Lyrics
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
