Steppin’ High Joe

Had not a been for Steppin’ High Joe

I’d a been married twenty years ago.

Where’d  ‘j come from, where’d j’ go
Where’d  ‘j come from, Steppin’ High Joe
Where’d  ‘j come from, where’d j’ go
Where’d  ‘j come from, Steppin’ High Joe

I fell down, stubbed my toe,
Called for the doctor, Steppin’ High Joe

[Where etc. after every verse.]

Step high Moll, step high Moe
Step a little tune they call the Steppin’ High Joe

Step High Jim, step high Joe
Step a little tune they call the Steppin’ High Joe

Pick up my fiddle, rosin my bow
Play a little tune called the Steppin’ High Joe

Stepped out fine but the cake’s all dough
Slippin’ on the dance floor, Steppin’ High Joe

It's flat-foot floogie with a flo flo
And a fat-foot moogie with the Steppin' High Joe.

Fiddler got drunk, fell on the floor,
Called for the banjo, Steppin’ High Joe

Glow little glowworm, glow glow glow,
I love my darlin’, Steppin’ High Joe.

Don’t you remember a long time ago,
Daddy danced a dolly named Steppin’ High Joe.

Don’t you remember a long time ago,
Momma danced a molly named Steppin’ High Joe
