Fare thee well, land of cotton Cotton lisle is out of style Honey chile Jump for joy Don't you grieve, little Eve. All the hounds I do believe, have been killed. Ain'tcha thrilled? Jump for joy Have you seen pastures groovy? Green Pastures was just a technicolor movie When you start up to heaven And you meet, yeah, old St. Pete Tell that boy to please Jump for Joy. Step right in, give Pete some skin And jump for joy. ... Cotton lisle is out of style Honey chile Jump for joy ... All the hounds I do believe, yes, have been killed. Ain'tcha thrilled? Jump for joy Have you seen pastures groovy? Green Pastures was just a technicolor movie When you start up to heaven And you meet old St. Pete Tell that boy, please Jump for Joy. Step right in, give Pete some skin And jump for joy.
