Lyrics Woody Guthrie – Jig Along Home

Well, I went to the dance and the animals come
Jaybird danced with horse-shoes on
Grasshopper danced till he fell on the floor
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home
Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig jiga jig jiga jig along home

Centipede danced with the big giraffe
Spider danced with the rattlesnake
Elephant danced with the scorpio
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Fishing worm done the fishing reel
Lobster danced on the peacock’s tail
Baboon danced with the rising moon
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

And the rooster cut his weevily wheat
The catfish tromped the cuckoo’s feet
The ostrich stomped with the kangaroo
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

Mama rat took off her hat
Shook the house with the old tom cat
The alligator beat his tail on the drum
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

The boards did rattle and the house did shake
The clouds did laugh and the world did quake
New moon rattled some silver spoons
Jig along, jig along, jig along home

The nails flew loose and the floors broke down
Everybody danced around and around
