-----------------............
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy  fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy  fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy fool.
 People say she used  to dance  with the fish,
 Some people say she juggled fire  in a dish.
 Clear days on  the Bayou  St John,
 She raised her hands and caused  e-lectrical  storms.
 She was a trachrous lady;  she never  meant much harm.
 One day she ducked past the station  house;
 She turned  on the fire a-larm.
 Somehow she got tangled  up with Queen  Julia Jackson,
 Down on Melba, meeting  near Rattle  Street.
 Queen Julia Jackson dropped  a zozola  brick,
 And Jump  Sturdy died with  her soul,  in defeat.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy  fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy  fool.
 Jump Sturdy, Jump Sturdy, was  her name;
 She came  out the swamps like a crazy fool.
 Jump Sturdy...Jump  Sturdy... was  her...name.
