Lyrics:
First verse
Tell me, brother tell me what's this all about, Ev'rybody's happy, what is that they shout? Ole Mammy Jinny's in town in a new gingham gown, And all the blessed day long, There's just been dancing and son. Now my mem'ry serves me and I'm feeling gay, Mammy Jinny's eighty-two today.
Chorus
Come on and shake your feet, oh honey, shake your feet, This is Mammy Jinny's Day, Just see that sweet birth day cake, It took ten people to bake Honey, count the candles, there's just eighty-two How'd you like to have one, some day, baked for you? Each time the door bell rings, a present some one brings, At Mammy Jinny's Jubilee. Come on and shake your feet, oh honey, shake your feet, This is Mammy Jinny's Day, Just see that sweet birth day cake, It took ten people to bake Honey, count the candles, there's just eighty-two How'd you like to have one, some day, baked for you? Each time the door bell rings, a present some one brings, At Mammy Jinny's Jubilee.
Second verse
Brand new red bandanna, around Mammy’s head, You couldn’t miss the color, it surely was red. There she stood with a smile, near the door all the while, Receiving guests who appear, At the same door each year. If you care for dancing and music and song, Put your glad rags on and come along.
(Chorus)
