JUMP STURDY  by Dr. John *from ’Gris Gris’ (1968)* [Chorus 1] Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. [Verse 1]      People say she used to dance with the fish Some people say she juggled fire in a dish.    Clear day on the Bayou St John    She raised her hands and caused a ’lectrical storm. [Bridge] She was a treacherous lady; she never met much harm. One day she ducked past the station house; She turned on the fire a-larm. [Verse 2] Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson Down on Melpomene and Erato Streets Queen Julia Jackson dropped a Zozo La Brique And Jump Sturdy died with her soul in defeat. [Chorus 2] Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. Jump Sturdy Jump Sturdy was her name; She came out the swamps like a crazy fool. [Coda] Jump Sturdy... Jump Sturdy... was her... name!
