Gonna get there, I don't know
Get down and row, row, row, row, row
Don't hang your head, let the two-time roll
Look at Julie down below
Gonna get there, I don't know
And I say row, Jimmy row
That's the way it's been in town
And I say row, Jimmy row
Two bit piece, don't buy no more
Ever since they tore the juke box down
Broken heart, don't feel so bad
Come back later, gonna let it show
Seems a common way to go
Not too fast and not too slow
Get down and row, row, row, row, row
Seems a common way to go
And don't you run off no more
Here's a half a dollar if you dare
And I say row, Jimmy row
Not so much as it done before
You ain't got half of what you thought you had
Gonna get there, I don't know
Double twist when you hit the air
Get back home where you belong
Rock your baby to and fro
Ask the time baby, I don't know
And I say row, Jimmy row
Seems a common way to go
Gonna get there, I don't know
Seems a common way to go
The levee doin' the dopaso
Get down and row, row, row, row, row
Grass shack nailed to a pine wood floor
