JUBILEE

(Copyright © 2007 Terry Phillips)

Chorus
Jubilee, down by the creek
Monday morning looking mighty bleak
Throw a dime, watch it roll
If you will . . . Play the song you know!

Crowding ‘round the slow fire on a cloudy Friday night
Everyone plays the same old song but no one plays it right
Quarter notes from heaven may be falling now and then
And if someone dances we’ll play the song again

Chorus

I count seventeen in all, fifteen of them guitars
The other two are basses someone stashed out in the car
TVA’s a-comin’ sayin’ “Y’all can’t play for free!”
But we got one more chorus ‘til we flee . . .’cause it’s a . . .

Chorus

Waiting for the weekend when we drop that load again
A drummer’s comin’ someday, no one’s really for sure when
The war of love, these instruments . . . we soldiers slay with sound!
And if someone dances we’ll lay their body down . . . yes we will
‘Cause it’s a . . .

Chorus (repeat)
