American Old Time Song Lyrics: 07 Shine On
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 7
SHINE ON.
Monkey dressed in soldier clothes,
All cross over to Jordan;
Went out in the woods to drill some crows,
Oh, Jerusalem!
Jay bird sat on a hickory limb,
All cross over to Jordan;
I up with a rock and bit him in the shin.
Oh, Jerusalem!
Chorus.
Sbine on, sbine on,
All cross over to Jordan;
Tben shine on, sbine on,
Oh, Jerusalem!
Make that coffee good and brown.
All cross over to Jordan;
Turn that hoe-cake round and round,
Oh, Jerusalem!
A for Adam, P for Paul,
All cross over to Jordan;
G for gentle, great and small,
Oh, Jerusalem!- Chorus.
My old master lived in clover,
All cross over to Jordan;
When he died be rolled rigbt over,
Oh, Jerusalem!
Ha rolled his eyes, gave one long breath,
All cross over to Jordan;
He scared these niggers half to deatb,
Oh, Jerusalem!-"Chorus.
