Lyrics: Gotta jump down, spin around and pick a bale of cotton Gotta jump down, spin around and pick a bale a day Gotta jump down, spin around and pick a bale of cotton Gotta jump down, spin around and pick a bale a day I saw 'skeeter on my head, Blinked his eye and I killed him dead Gotta jump down, spin around and weed a patch o'turnip, Gotta jump down, spin around and weed a patch a day Gotta weed a patch o' turnip Gotta jump down, spin around and weed a patch o'turnip Gotta jump down, spin around and weed a patch a day I saw a gal in calico, She tripped and fell, and she didn't say hello Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a mess o'greens, Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a pot a day Gotta cook a mess o'greens Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a mess o'greens Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a pot a day I got a pig who's nice and greasy, All you ladies shake it easy Gotta jump down, spin around and tote a pail o' water, Gotta jump down, spin around and tote a pail a day Gotta tote a pail a day Gotta jump down, spin around and tote a pail o' water Gotta jump down, spin around and tote a pail a day I don't know but I've been told, A gopher really don't live in a hole Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail o' water, Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail a day Gotta sweat a pail a day Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail o' water Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail a day |
