Shine On

My ole massa promised me,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
When he died he'd set me free.
Oh! Jerusalem.
My ole massa never die at all,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
'Cause he uses Wizard Oil,
Oh! Jerusalem.

Chorus
Shine on, shine on,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
Shine on, shine on.
Oh! Jerusalem. lem.

Monkey dressed in soldier's clothes,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
Went out one day to shoot some crows,
Oh! Jerusalem.
The crows they all die fly away,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
The monkey will shoot some other day,
Oh! Jerusalem.
CHORUS : Shine on, shine on, etc.

Down in the hen-house on my knees,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze,
Oh! Jerusalem!
'Twas only a rooster saying his prayers,
Sing a little hoe-down Jordan,
A-singin' a hymn to the hens upstairs,
Oh! Jerusalem!
CHORUS : Shine on, shine on, etc.
