Jump The Broom

Jump the Broom Adrienne Young / Will Kimbrough "Join two hands, this broom step over take a sweet kiss from your own true lover? Diamond birthright Painted Flower Seventeen years and sixteen hours Out the window stares a girl Kentucky wonder head full of curls She ain?t my mama this ain?t my world Too much swine for just one Pearl Jump the broom, jump the broom Fly me away from this dark room Can?t go too far can?t leave too soon Love take my hand let?s jump the broom Broken bottle on the floor Whiskey drippin? down through the boards Old man shoutin? come back and fight Young man run into the night Was late ast summer down by the creek Two young lovers fell warm and sweet Kindred spirits kindred scars Jordan?s Banks didn?t seem so far Jump the broom, jump the broom Fly me away from this dark room Can?t go too far can?t leave too soon Love take my hand let?s jump the broom New moon risin? dark and still Pearl?s a droppin? from her windowsill Tears burn and gather in brown eyes Little sister waves goodbye Now young Corey?s waitin? down by the gate Can?t call the preacher It?s much too late But that don?t stop his bended knee no no Pretty Pearl girl marry me! Jump the broom, jump the broom Fly me away from this dark room Can?t go too far can?t leave too soon Love take my hand let?s jump the broom --- Jump the Broom - Adrienne Young
