Harry Belafonte – Jump and Bray Medley Lyrics

Artist: Harry Belafonte
Song: Jump and Bray Medley

Hold ’em Joe, hold’em Joe, hold’em Joe
But don’t let him go
Hold ’em Joe, hold’em Joe, hold’em Joe
But don’t let him go

Me donkey want water, hold’em Joe
Spring ’round the corner, hold’em Joe
Me donkey want water, hold’em Joe
Everybody want water, hold’em Joe

Fuma la catchimba, hold’em Joe
We on a journey he don’t walk straight
And that is because he’s so underweight
Donkеy of mine he don’t like wеight

Put him on a cart he never walk straight
Me donkey want water, hold’em Joe
Spring ’round the corner, hold’em Joe
Me donkey want water, hold’em Joe

Everybody want water, hold’em Joe
Fuma la catchimba, hold’em Joe
My ole donkey went courtin’ one day
With a donkey named Melda across the way

She was twice his age, he put up a fight
Now he’s cryin’ every night
Oh lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back bone

Lemme go, darling Melda
You breaking my back
Some people say that my donkey is bad
An’ that is because he’s from Trinidad

Donkey of mine he won’t work at all
All he want to do is break out him stall
Play that theme man
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray

I say the Jackass will jump and bray
Lordy let him bray, let him bray, everybody!
Now I tell you in a positive way
Don’t tie me donkey down there

Cause me donkey will jump and play
Don’t tie me donkey down there
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
I say the Jackass will jump and bray

Lordy let him bray, let him bray, everybody!
Now me donkey gone mad they say
Don’t tie me donkey down there
‘Cause his eye on a bale o’ hay

Don’t tie me donkey down there
Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
I say the Jackass will jump and bray
Lordy let him bray, let him bray, everybody!

Now the news really travel fast
Don’t tie me donkey down there
When me donkey in the meadow grass
Don’t tie me donkey down there

Jackass will jump and bray, let him bray, let him bray
I say the Jackass will jump and bray
Lordy let him bray, let him bray, everybody!
Now me heart is light and gay

Don’t tie me donkey down there
He haw ‘till judgment day
Don’t tie me donkey down there
