Chorus:
Jubilee, jubilee, O Lordy!
Jubilee, jubilee, O Lord!
Jubilee, jubilee, jubilee, O Lordy!
Jubilee, jubilee, O Lord! Jubilee.
1 What is the matter with the mourners?
O Lordy, the devil's in the amen corner;
O Lord, Jubilee. [Chorus]
2 What is the matter, the church can't move?
O Lordy, somebody's here been carrying bad news;
O Lord, Jubilee. [Chorus]
3 Won't you join in, sister, won't you join in?
O Lordy, and help me this jubilee to sing;
O Lord, Jubilee. [Chorus]
4 Let's shout, sisters, O let's shout around,
O Lordy, let's shout while wearing our starry crown;
O Lord, Jubilee. [Chorus]
