Jump The Broom

Jump the Broom
Adrienne Young / Will Kimbrough

"Join two hands, this broom step over
take a sweet kiss from your own true lover

Diamond birthright Painted Flower
Seventeen years and sixteen hours
Out the window stares a girl
Kentucky wonder head full of curls
She aint my mama this aint my world
Too much swine for just one Pearl

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Cant go too far cant leave too soon
Love take my hand lets 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 ast summer down by the creek
Two young lovers fell warm and sweet
Kindred spirits kindred scars
Jordans Banks didnt seem so far

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Cant go too far cant leave too soon
Love take my hand lets jump the broom

New moon risin dark and still
Pearls a droppin from her windowsill
Tears burn and gather in brown eyes
Little sister waves goodbye

Now young Coreys waitin down by the gate
Cant call the preacher
Its much too late
But that dont stop his bended knee no no

Pretty Pearl girl marry me!

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Cant go too far cant leave too soon
Love take my hand lets jump the broom
