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 loverDiamond 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 PearlJump 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 broomBroken bottle on the floor

Whiskey drippin down through the boards

Old man shoutin come back and fight

Young man run into the nightWas late ast summer down by the creek

Two young lovers fell warm and sweet

Kindred spirits kindred scars

Jordans Banks didnt seem so farJump 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 broomNew moon risin dark and still

Pearls a droppin from her windowsill

Tears burn and gather in brown eyes

Little sister waves goodbyeNow young Coreys waitin down by the gate

Cant call the preacher

Its much too late

But that dont stop his bended knee no noPretty 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
