\"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 ain’t my mama this ain’t my world
Too much swine for just one Pearl

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s 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
Jordan’s Banks didn’t seem so far

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s jump the broom

New moon risin’ dark and still
Pearl’s a droppin’ from her windowsill
Tears burn and gather in brown eyes
Little sister waves goodbye

Now young Corey’s waitin’ down by the gate
Can’t call the preacher
It’s much too late
But that don’t stop his bended knee no no

Pretty Pearl girl marry me!

Jump the broom, jump the broom
Fly me away from this dark room
Can’t go too far can’t leave too soon
Love take my hand let’s jump the broom
