Am Dm Am Dm Am
People say she used to dance with the fish,

Some people say she juggled fire in a dish.

Clear days on the Bayou St John,

She raised her hands and caused e-lectrical storms.

She turned on the fire a-larm.

Somehow she got tangled up with Queen Julia Jackson,

Down on Melba, meeting near Rattle Street.

And Jump Sturdy died with her soul, in defeat.
