109. Jubilee

Jubilee, Jubilee,
O Lordy, Jubilee, Jubilee,
My Lord, Jubilee

1 What is the matter, the church won't shout?
O Lordy.
Somebody in there that ought-a be out!
My Lord, Jubilee.

2 What is the matter with the mourner?
O Lordy.
The devil's in the "amen corner"!
My Lord, Jubilee.

2 What is the matter, the church won't move?
O Lordy.
Somebody in there that's carryin' bad news!
My Lord, Jubilee.
