Chorus
Gonna jump down turn around, pick a bale of cotton,
Jump down turn around, pick a bale a day.
Oh lordy, pick a bale of cotton,
Oh my lordy, pick a bale a day.

Sally from Shiloh can slide very slowly,
Sally from Shiloh can slide all day.
(Tom from Texas can tiptoe quietly,.....)
(Shane from Swindon can stamp so strongly)

Me and my friend can march up and down,
Me and my friend can march all day.
