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
(long instrumental)
(soft laugh)
(instrumental)
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
