Jemmy Taylor-O lyrics
by Jean Ritchie
[Verse 1]
Had a little trouble down in Mexico
Nobody hurt by Jimmy Taylor-o
Hi ho diddle-i-day
[Verse 2]
Had a little trouble [?] into town
Nobody killed but a man knocked down
Hi ho diddle-i-day
[Verse 3]
Come to the place where the blood was shed
Boys go back and gals go ahead
Hi ho diddle-i-day
[Verse 4]
Boys and the gals when they did meet
They stopped and they hugged and they kissed about a week
Hi ho diddle-i-day
[Verse 1]
Had a little trouble down in Mexico
Nobody hurt by Jimmy Taylor-o
Hi ho diddle-i-day
[Verse 5]
Poor, poor Jimmy Taylor-o
Ain't it a shame 'bout Jimmy Taylor-o?
Hi ho diddle-i-day
