Join two hands, this broom step over
take a sweet kiss from your own true lover?


Diamond birthright Painted Flower
Seventeen years and sixteen hours
Out the window stares a girl

Kentucky wonder head full of curls
She ain't my mama this ain't my world
Too much swine for just one Pearl


Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room

Can't go too far can't leave too soon
Love take my hand let's jump the broom


Broken bottle on the floor
Whiskey drippin' down through the boards
Old man shoutin' come back and fight

Young man run into the night

Was late ast summer down by the creek

Two young lovers fell warm and sweet
Kindred spirits kindred scars
Jordan's Banks didn't seem so far


Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room

Can't go too far can't leave too soon
Love take my hand let's jump the broom


New moon risin' dark and still
Pearl's a droppin' from her windowsill
Tears burn and gather in brown eyes

Little sister waves goodbye

Now young Corey's waitin' down by the gate

Can't call the preacher
It's much too late
But that don't stop his bended knee no no


Pretty Pearl girl marry me!


Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can't go too far can't leave too soon

Love take my hand let's jump the broom
