Artist/Band: Adrienne Young and Little Sadie Tabs
Song: Jump the Broom Tab
By Adrienne Young and Will Kimbrough
"Join two hands, this broom step over,take a sweet kiss from your own true lover�
C
Diamond birthright, Painted Flower
F Am
Seventeen years and six long hours
C Am
Out the window stares a girl
C G1 C
Kentucky wonder head full of curls
C
Thoughts are racin�, restless night
F Am
Damn fools sham bakin� and iron right*
C Am
She ain�t my mama this ain�t my world
C G C
Too much swine for just one Pearl
[CHORUS]
C F C
Jump the broom, jump the broom
Am G
Fly me away from this dark room
F Am
Can�t go too far can�t leave too soon
C G C
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 last summer down by the creek
Two young lovers fell warm and sweet
Kindred spirits kindred scars
Jordan�s banks didn�t seem so far
[CHORUS]
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!
[CHORUS]
* Can't for the life of me figure out this line. It is left off the liner notes and lyric web page, and e-mails and notes
on the community board have been unanswered. I'd love for someone to correct this.
[Thanks to Jenine Abarbanel for tabs]
