When the sun comes up in the morning
and you hear the dancing boys
Mother, leave your pots and pans,
sister, leave your toys.
If you have to break a camel's back
or pull the crowds apart
You'll find a way to get there when
that old time music starts.

Chorus:
-
Just down the street there's a rattling sound,
There's a country band playing hand me down.
And it's
a jamboree.
It was in my father's father's time, they knew a rolling air,
And the Albion boys will show you how, they
sang it everywhere.
And if you come along with us you're numbered as a friend
And the faded flower of England will rise
and bloom again.
Just down the street there's a rattling sound,
There's a country band playing hand me down.
And it's a
jamboree
The dancers standing three and three are a most illustrious sight;
If someone saw a better one then you surely
know he lied.
You can hear the bells a-ringing as the singer calls them on,
They can dance away the night and day and
never step it wrong
[Richard Thompson]
