Julie  catch a rabbit by his hair
Come  back steppin'  like to walk  on air
Get  back home where you  belong
 And don't  you run off no more.
Don't  hang your head, let the two time roll
Grass  shack nailed  to a pine  wood floor
Ask  the time baby I  don't know
Come  back later, gonna let  it show.
 I say row  Jimmy row,
 Gonna get  there,  I don't know,
 Seems a common  way to go,
 Get out and row,  row, row,  row, row.
 (Follow the second verse form for verses 3 & 4)
 Here's a half dollar if you dare
 Double twist when you hit the air,
 Look at Julie down below,
 The levee doin' the do-pas-o.
 Broken heart don't feel so bad,
 You ain't got half of what you thought you had.
 Rock your baby to and fro
 Not too fast and not too slow.
That's  the way  it's been  in town,
Ever  since they tore  the jukebox  down.
Two  bit piece  don't buy  no more,
Not  so much as it done  before.
