Collins and Harlan "Alabama Jubilee" Victor 17825 (April 28, 1915) LYRICS HERE

Collins and Harlan sing "Alabama Jubilee" on Victor 17825 ((April 28, 1915).

Mandolins, violins! Hear the darkies
tunin' up--the fun begins.
Now come this way--don't delay.

Better hurry, honey dear, or you'll be
missin' music sweet--ragtime treat!

Goes right to your head and trickles to
your feet. It's a reminder, a memory
finder, of nights down in old Alabam'.

You ought to see deacon Jones
When he rattles the bones!
Old parson Brown foolin' 'roun like a clown!

Aunt Jemima, who is past 83, shoutin'
"I'm full o' pep! Watch yo' step!"

One legged Joe, dancing aroun' on his toe,
Threw away his crutch and hollered,
"Let 'er go!" Oh, honey, hail! hail!
The gang's all here for an Alabama jubilee

Hear that flute? It's a beaut--and the
tunes it's tootin', tootsie, ain't they cute?

Let's begin! It's a sin to be missin'
all this syncopated music!

Oh, you Jane, once again give your legs
some exercise to that refrain.

Gal, that's what makes me so dreamy and
takes me back home to my old Alabam'.
