about

“Jig Along Home” by Woody Guthrie, copyright 1951 (Woody Guthrie Publications, Inc.). Lyrics as printed in Rise Up Singing (1988).

lyrics

I went to the dance and the animals come
The jaybird danced with horseshoes on
Grasshopper danced till he fell on the floor
Jigalong, jigalong, jigalong home

Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home
Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home
Jig along, jig along, jig along home
Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home

Mama rat took off her hat
Shook the house with the old tom cat
The alligator beat his tail on the drum
Jigalong, jigalong, jigalong home

Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home…

Fishing worm danced the fishing reel
Lobster danced on the peacock’s tail
Baboon danced with the rising moon
Jigalong, jigalong, jigalong home

Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home…

The boards did rattle and the house did shake
The clouds did laugh and the world did quake
New moon rattled some silver spoons
Jigalong, jigalong, jigalong home

Jig jiga jig jiga jigalong home…
