Shout!
©2011 Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Living Room.
Long tall man from old Gambee,
Carve a flute from a trumpet tree,
Bound to blow the jubilee
Round the world and back to me.
Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round.
Big fat man from old Virginny,
Ply his cat on a rusty back,
Serve 'em short and work 'em skinny,
Big train comin' down the track.
Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round.
Children, steal away to glory,
Run to heaven in a ring,
Sip the gourd and sing the story,
Turtle dove done droop his wing.
Bones a-risin' in the valley,
Hallelujah to the lamb!
Blow your trumpet calm and easy,
Wake, Father Abraham!
Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round.
Long tall man from old Gambee
Carve a flute from a trumpet tree
Bound to blow the jubilee
Round the world and back to me
Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round.
Shout! Shout the trumpet sound!
