You ought to see Deacon Jones when he rattles his bones;

Old Parson Brown dancing 'round like a clown.

Shouting out full of pep, "Watch your step!  Watch your step!"

Am                                   Am7

Throws away his crutch and hollers, "Look at her go!"

Oh, honey!  Hail, hail, the gang's all here At the Alabama Jubilee!

 

 

Alt. Lyrics:

You oughta see Mr. Jones when he rattles the bones,

Old Colonel Brown movin 'round like a clown.

Miss Virgina, who is past eighty three,

Shouting out full of pep, full of pep

"Watch your step!  Watch your step!"

One-legged Joe dancin' around on his toe,

Threw away his crutches hollered, "Let 'em go!"

And cryin' "Hail, hail, the gang's all here for the Alabama Jubilee!"
