Ballad of Jubilee Jones

[00:00.20] If you got the soul, let it roll
[00:02.78] If you got the time, let it shine
[00:05.06] If you got the dream, set it free
[00:08.18] Just like Jubilee
[00:10.57]
[00:18.54] Sprung from the dirt like a Frazier fir
[00:20.88] With a fiddle in his hand
[00:23.12] Old Jubilee was born to sing
[00:25.65] The song of the common man
[00:27.86] He thumbed away from a tender age
[00:30.31] While mama stood and cried
[00:32.45] Take up the yoke for the working folk
[00:34.85] Son, don't keep the fire inside
[00:37.13] From the coal fields to the textile mills
[00:39.98] Picking for the pocket change
[00:42.14] Jubal Jones found a home singing on a sidewalk stage
[00:47.59] If you got the soul, let it roll
[00:49.82] If you got the time, let it shine
[00:52.14] If you got the dream, set it free
[00:55.18] Just like Jubilee
[00:57.66]
[01:05.35] Well, he hopped the rail from the Georgia mail
[01:07.83] To the highball Chessie Line
[01:10.23] All the folks leaned in to hear him sing
[01:12.68] Down every rolling mile
[01:14.96] But his luck ran out in Danville town
[01:17.45] When the sheriff cuffed his hands
[01:19.58] They rung his bell, said you're going to hell son
[01:22.12] For singing for the working man
[01:24.21] From the union halls to the prison walls
[01:26.91] Picking for a poor man's wage
[01:29.34] Jubal Jones found a home playing on the gallows stage
[01:34.66] If you got the soul, let it roll
[01:36.82] If you got the time, let it shine
[01:39.22] If you got the dream, set it free
[01:42.43] Just like Jubilee
[01:44.31] Oh, just like Jubilee
[01:47.09]
[02:05.67] From your hometown to the whole world 'round
[02:08.12] The song remains the same
[02:10.13] Someday the hand of the working man
[02:12.83] Sure gonna lose these chains
[02:15.08] You'll hear the tune come whistling through
[02:17.35] No matter where you roam
[02:19.79] Hard labour songs still linger on
[02:22.14] Just like Jubilee Jones
[02:27.59] If you got the soul, let it roll
[02:29.97] If you got the time, let it shine
[02:32.19] If you got the dream, set it free
[02:35.28] Just like Jubilee
[02:36.80] If you got the soul, let it roll
[02:39.33] If you got the time, let it shine
[02:41.67] If you got the dream, set it free
[02:44.66] Just like Jubilee
[02:46.36] If you got the dream, set it free
[02:49.41] Just like Jubilee, yeah
[02:55.04]
