[Verse 1]
Fare thee well land of cotton
Cotton lisle is out of style
Honey chile, jump for Joy
Don't you grieve, little Eve
All the hounds I do believe
Have been killed
Ain't ya thrilled? Jump for Joy
[Bridge]
Have you seen pastures groovy?
Green Pastures was just a technicolor movie
[Verse 2]
When you stomp up to heaven and you meet old Saint Pete
Tell that boy "Jump for joy"
Step right in
Give Pete some skin and jump for Joy
[Instrumental]
