A new song introduced by the Donna Jean Godchaux Band in 2011.
Holy, holy moly
Daddy strung back to the willow tree
Say, hey child, pretty as a pea
Come tonight we're gonna jubilee
Good news, get on your shoes
Dancing through the night and I love to [snooze]
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Going to make it through
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Shaking off the blues
Keep on dancing on the riverside
I want to waken in the moonlight
Wish upon a star in the heat of the desert night
Oh hallelu
Mama, busy as a bee
Buzzing all around the honeysuckle tree
She say, Lord, Lord have mercy on me
Eat up the smoke of the jubilee
She say, hey mama, I got fish to fry
Go back to home for the sugar pie
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Going to make it through
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Shaking off the blues
Keep on dancing on the riverside
I want to waken in the moonlight
Wish upon a star in the heat of the desert night
Oh hallelu
Mama, Daddy come see
River full down by the willow tree
Holy, holy moly
Wind coming in from the jubilee
Hey now, don't need a thing
[?] may the river sing
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Going to make it through
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Shaking off the blues
Keep on dancing on the riverside
I want to waken in the moonlight
Wish upon a star in the heat of the desert night
Oh hallelu
Quiet night, fireflies
Crawling on through
Fishing pole, swimming hole
Over [?]
River sounds, barking hounds
Sweet smell of blue
Ebb and flow, high and low
Nothing to lose
Holy, holy moly
Daddy got down with the jubilee
Lord, Lord, oh gonna be
Baby did too and the best is free
Hey now, everybody see
Lots still hanging on the willow tree
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Going to make it through
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelu
Shaking off the blues
Keep on dancing on the riverside
I want to waken in the moonlight
Wish upon a star in the heat of the desert night
Oh hallelu
