HI JIM ALONG JOSIE Sung by: Mr. F.E. Ash Recorded in Mountain View, AR 7/26/63 Click here to listen to the original recording Falls in the arms of James or Joe. (Comment by Mr. Ash: "I got it started too high.") Chorus: Hi Jim along, Jim along Josie. Hi Jim along, Jim along Joe. Any pretty girl here hasn't got a beau, Just fall in the arms of James or Joe. (Chorus) (Mr. Ash: "What's some of the verses, now? I can't think of them." Dr. Wolf: "Hung my jawbone . . .") Hung my jawbone on the tree, And the girls wouldn't let my jawbone be. (Chorus) Had a little red wagon painted blue . . . (Dr. Wolf: "Had an old cow.") Had an old cow, and I milked her in a gourd. Every time she kicked, I slapped her with a board. (Chorus) Had a little dog, and he hadn't any sense, The darn little fool kept barking at the fence. (Chorus) (Mr. Ash: "I knew a lot of verses, but I just can't recall them right off hand.") (This is followed by an unidentified harmonica tune.) Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #574, "Jim Along Josie." |
