Jump Down, Spin Around (Pick a Dress O'cotton) - Harry Belafonte

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

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, cook a mess o’greens

Gotta jump down, spin around and cook a pot a day

Gotta jump down, 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 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 jump down, spin around and sweat a pail o' water

Gotta jump down, spin around and sweat a pail a day
