Well, come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot


Goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot


(Musical Break)


Come-a little baby, don't-a mean-a maybe
Let's settle down
Come-a little baby, don't-a mean-a maybe
Let's settle down
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot


(Musical Break)


Well-a come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot


I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
