(*J. Horton, F. Horton)
Way down south, where the whippoorwills call*
There's gonna be a jubilee
Folks will come from miles around to share their company
There's all-day singing and dinner on the ground
And when the day is through, there's be sound contentment
At Smokey Joe's barbeque
[Refrain:]
Smokey Joe's barbeque, Smokey Joe's barbeque
There's always fun for ev'ryone at Smokey Joe's barbeque
The string band plays “Turkey in the Hay”
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net .]
They play it just for you
Your laughing be gay till the Judgement Day
At Smokey Joe's barbeque
[*Solo:]
When the dogwoods bloom and the red birds sing
That's a time, I love to see
When work is through and the crops laid by, I dream of reality
When you can lay around in the evening shades
Relax when the day is through
Just be dancin', and be happy, at Smokey Joe's barbeque
[Repeat Refrain:]
[*Solo:]
[Repeat Refrain:]
