Here Comes Uncle Jesse
This used to be sung in the Sea Islands, Georgia, in Texas, and New York.
Here Comes Uncle Jesse
Circle Game
Here comes Uncle Jesse
A-riding through the field
And with his horse and buggy
And booties on his heels.
(Chorus)
Oh, come on Jesse
Shake it, shake!
Oh Come on Jesse
Shake it, shake!
If you want a fellow
I'll tell you what to do
Just get some salt and pepper
And put it in your shoe.
(Chorus)
Oh, come on Jesse
Shake it, shake!
Oh, come on Jesse
Shake it, shake!
Notes
Variation:
Look at Uncle Jesse,
Riding through the field,
With his horse and buggy
And I know just how he feels.
Oh, step Uncle Jesse
Step, step,
Oh, step Uncle Jesse
Step, step.
Step Uncle Jesse
Step, Step,
Step Uncle Jesse
Step, Step.
Oh, slide Uncle Jesse
Slide, slide,
Oh, slide Uncle Jesse
Slide, slide,
Slide Uncle Jesse
Slide, slide,
Slide Uncle Jesse
Slide, slide.
Oh, stomp Uncle Jesse
Stomp, stomp,
Oh, stomp Uncle Jesse
Stomp, stomp,
Stomp Uncle Jesse,
Stomp, stomp,
Stomp Uncle Jesse,
Stomp, stomp.
