Ooohwee
|
|
Ah yeah
|
|
Down south, the banjos cry too,
|
Everybody whose sayin' hidee hi too,
|
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
|
That's how rhythm was born
|
|
They've praised the mighty forgiver,
|
They've washed their sins in the river,
|
Cold water made 'em all shiver,
|
That's how rhythm was born
|
|
Folks came down,
|
Gathered round that old swiney shore,
|
Caught the craze and sang his praise,
|
They all cried why don't you give us some more
|
|
Down south, the banjos cry too,
|
Everybody's singin' hidee hi too,
|
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
|
That's how rhythm was born
|
|
Down south, the banjos cry too,
|
Everybody whose sayin' hidee hi too,
|
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
|
That's just how rhythm was born
|
|
They've praised the mighty forgiver,
|
They've washed their sins in the river,
|
Cold water well it made 'em wanna shiver,
|
That's how rhythm was born
|
|
Folks came down,
|
Gathered round that old swiney shore,
|
Caught the craze and sang his praise,
|
And cried, come on, gimme some more
|
|
You can ask anyone sir,
|
They lights will be over yonder, (?)
|
Yady yady yady yady yady yadi
|
That's how rhythm was born

|
Banjo's cry too
|
Don't they hidee hi too
|
Dance on the Bayou
|
That's just the reason that rhythm was born
|
|
Praise and forgivin
|
Wash their sins in the river
|
Cold water makes 'em all shiver
|
And that's just the reason rhythm was born
|
|
Folks came down
|
And gathered around that swiney shore
|
Caught the craze and sang his praise
|
They all cried why don't ya gimme some more
|
|
Ask you anyone sir,
|
And they be glad to answer you sir,
|
The lights will be over yonder,
|
That's just the reason that rhythm was born
|
That's how rhythm was born
