Jump Sturdy

...JUMP STURDY... by Dr. John

*from 'Gris Gris' (1968)*

Chorus 1:

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Verse 1:

People say she used to dance with the fish,

Some people say she juggled fire in a dish.

Clear days on the Bayou St John,

She raised her hands and caused e-lectrical storms.

Bridge 1:

She was a trachrous lady; she never meant much harm.

One day she ducked past the station house;

She turned on the fire a-larm.

Verse 2:

Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson,

Down on Melba, meeting near Rattle Street.

Queen Julia Jackson dropped a zozola brick,

And Jump Sturdy died with her soul, in defeat.

Chorus 2:

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was her name;

She came out the swamps like a crazy fool.

Coda:

Jump Sturdy...Jump Sturdy... was her...name.
