Jump The Broom Lyrics - Adrienne Young

Jump the Broom 

Adrienne Young / Will Kimbrough 

"Join two hands, this broom step over 

take a sweet kiss from your own true lover 

Diamond birthright Painted Flower 

Seventeen years and sixteen hours 

Out the window stares a girl 

Kentucky wonder head full of curls 

She aint my mama this aint my world 

Too much swine for just one Pearl 

Jump the broom, jump the broom 

Fly me away from this dark room 

Cant go too far cant leave too soon 

Love take my hand lets jump the broom 

Broken bottle on the floor 

Whiskey drippin down through the boards 

Old man shoutin come back and fight 

Young man run into the night 

Was late ast summer down by the creek 

Two young lovers fell warm and sweet 

Kindred spirits kindred scars 

Jordans Banks didnt seem so far 

Jump the broom, jump the broom 

Fly me away from this dark room 

Cant go too far cant leave too soon 

Love take my hand lets jump the broom 

New moon risin dark and still 

Pearls a droppin from her windowsill 

Tears burn and gather in brown eyes 

Little sister waves goodbye 

Now young Coreys waitin down by the gate 

Cant call the preacher 

Its much too late 

But that dont stop his bended knee no no 

Pretty Pearl girl marry me! 

Jump the broom, jump the broom 

Fly me away from this dark room 

Cant go too far cant leave too soon 

Love take my hand lets jump the broom
