Jubilee (Jubilee Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
S'all out on the old railroad
It's all out to the sea
It's all out on the old railroad
Far as I can see

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Verse 2]
Hardest work I've ever done
Workin' on the farm
Easiest work I've ever done
Swingin' in my true love's arms

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
If I had a needle and thread
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew my true love to my side
Down this creek, I'd go

See Tyler Childers Live

Get tickets as low as $40

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Verse 4]
If I had no horse to ride
I'd be found a-crawlin'
Up and down this rocky road
Lookin' for my darlin'

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Some will come on Saturday Night
Some will come on Sunday
If you give 'em half a chance
They'll be back on Monday

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Verse 6]
I won't have no Widder man
Neither will my cousin
You can get such stuff as that
Fifteen cents a dozen

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

[Verse 7]
Coffee grows on a white oak tree
Sugar runs in brandy
Girls as sweet as a lump of home
Boys as sweet as candy

[Refrain]
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee
