Seen my lady home las' night, 
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
 Hel' huh han' an' sque'z it tight,
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
 Hyeahd huh sigh a little sigh,
 Seen a light gleam f'om huh eye,
 An' a smile go flittin' by --
 Jump back, honey, jump back. 
 Hyeahd de win' blow thoo de pine,
 Jump back, honey, jump back. 
 Mockin'-bird was singin' fine,
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
 An' my hea't was beatin' so,
 When I reached my lady's do',
 Dat I could n't ba' to go --
 Jump back, honey, jump back.

 Put my ahm aroun' huh wais',
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
 Raised huh lips an' took a tase,
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
 Love me, honey, love me true?
 Love me well ez I love you?
 An' she answe'd, "'Cose I do"--
 Jump back, honey, jump back.
