That's How Rhythm Was Born - Wynonna Judd

Down south, the banjos cry too,

Everybody whose sayin' hidee hi too,

While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,

That’s how rhythm was born

They’ve praised the mighty forgiver,

They’ve washed their sins in the river,

Cold water made 'em all shiver,

That’s how rhythm was born

Folks came down,

Gathered round that old swiney shore,

Caught the craze and sang his praise,

They all cried why don’t you give us some more

Down south, the banjos cry too,

Everybody’s singin' hidee hi too,

While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,

That’s how rhythm was born

Down south, the banjos cry too,

Everybody whose sayin' hidee hi too,

While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,

That’s just how rhythm was born

They’ve praised the mighty forgiver,

They’ve washed their sins in the river,

Cold water well it made 'em wanna shiver,

That’s how rhythm was born

Folks came down,

Gathered round that old swiney shore,

Caught the craze and sang his praise,

And cried, come on, gimme some more

You can ask anyone sir,

They lights will be over yonder, (?)

Yady yady yady yady yady yadi

That’s how rhythm was born

Banjo’s cry too

Don’t they hidee hi too

Dance on the Bayou

That’s just the reason that rhythm was born

Praise and forgivin

Wash their sins in the river

Cold water makes 'em all shiver

And that’s just the reason rhythm was born

Folks came down

And gathered around that swiney shore

Caught the craze and sang his praise

They all cried why don’t ya gimme some more

Ask you anyone sir,

And they be glad to answer you sir,

The lights will be over yonder,

That’s just the reason that rhythm was born

That’s how rhythm was born
