Adrienne Young 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 ain’t my mama this ain’t my world
Too much swine for just one Pearl
Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s 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
Jordan’s Banks didn’t seem so far
Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s jump the broom
New moon risin’ dark and still
Pearl’s a droppin’ from her windowsill
Tears burn and gather in brown eyes
Little sister waves goodbye
Now young Corey’s waitin’ down by the gate
Can’t call the preacher
It’s much too late
But that don’t stop his bended knee no no
Pretty Pearl girl marry me!
Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s jump the broom
