The Broomstick Song

[JOHN HENRY]
Broomstick, broomstick
Who gonna jump my broomstick?
Broomstick, broomstick
Who gonna jump my broom?
Who gonna be my broomstick bride?
Who gonna jump my broom?

(spoken)
C'mon Carrie... jump over the broomstick!
It's only six inches off the ground!
And that ain't far to jump just to get married!

(sung)
Sheriff took away the preacher
Marster took away the book
My true love and my broomstick
They the only two who ain't been took!

So the broomstick be my preacher
Broom be my Bible book, ha ha
'Cause I'm gonna be my true love's field hand
She gonna be my cook, ha!

Broomstick, broomstick
Who gonna jump my broomstick?
Broomstick, broomstick
Who gonna jump my broom?

(spoken)
Wow, look at that gal jump!
Is she jumpin' over that [?]
Oh Carrie, baby
I'm gonna sweep you in my arms
And with a hammer swingin' in each my hand
I'm gonna tunnel us through to the Promised Land!
