JINNY GIT AROUND (A banjo tune)
b^. No. i <oo. Ace. on banjo and sun? by James Mullins, Florress, Ky., 1937.
* The banjo interludes occur between chorus 2 and each succeeding stanza. The form of the song would appear, therefore, to be "stanza, chorus 1, chorus 2," in spite of the fact the song begins with chorus 1.
Chorus 1:
Oh, git around, Jinny, git around, Oh, git around, I sayj Oh, git around, Jinny, git around, All on a summer day.
Chorus 2:
Want to git your eye knocked out, And want to git your fill, Want to git your eye knocked out, Git on the mountain mill.
1 My true love up on the mountain, Bowing up and down, If I had my broadax here, Pd hew the mountain down. (Chorus i and 2.)
[63]
