NO USE KNOCKING Sung by: W.P. Detherow Recorded in Batesville, AR, 7/15/52 Click here to listen to the original recording "No, it is Jim." "You ain't good-looking And you shan't come in." Chorus: And there's no use a-knocking at the door any more, No use knocking at the door any more. First upon a heeltop, Then upon a toe, Going over river, A-jump Jim low. (Chorus) Riding up a goat And a-leading up a sheep, I won't get home 'Til the middle of the week. (Chorus) Where're you going, buzzard? Where're you going, crow? Going over the river, A-jump Jim low. (Chorus) "That you, Sambo?" "No, it is Jim." "You ain't good-looking And you shan't come in." (Chorus) |
