When the sun comes up in the morning and you hear the
dancing boys
Mother leave your pots and pans, sister leave your toys
If you have to break a camel’s back or pull the crowds
apart
You’ll find a way to get there when that old time music
starts
Just down the street
There’s a rattling sound
There’s a country band
Playing hand me down
And it’s a jamboree
It was in my father’s father’s time they new a rolling
air
And the Albion boys will show you how, they sang it
everywhere
And if you come along with us you’re numbered as a
friend
And the faded flower of England will rise and bloom
again
Just down the street
There’s a rattling sound
There’s a country band
Playing hand me down
And it’s a jamboree
The dancers standing three and three are a most
illustrious sight
If someone saw a better one then you surely know he
lied
You can hear the bells a-ringing as the singer calls
them on
They can dance away the night and day and never step it
wrong
