From the recording Should You Tip a Cow Waitress?
Lyrics
Juke Joint Jerry’s
B. Gibson
There’s a vibe at Juke Joint Jerry’s
Where the music’s sweet and fine
Yeah, there’s a vibe at Juke Joint Jerry’s
Where the music’s sweet and fine
Ain’t nobody leavin’, This wingding’s primed to shine
Yonder goes Odessa, Oh how she builds a fire
There goes Miss Odessa, Lord she builds a fire
When she starts to dancin’, that honkeytonk’s haywire
Down the road in Waycross, There’s a cat named Cookie Brown
Down the road in Waycross, Is a cat called Cookie Brown
Brings his harp on Fridays, Blows like Sonny Boy’s in town
(Mercy, Mercy, Mercy)
Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove
Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move
Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove
Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move
Slidin’ like Ry Cooder, Love that bottleneck guitar
Wailin’ like Ry Cooder, Crave that bottleneck guitar
Whipped into a frenzy, Hot pepper in a jar
Nellie’s got the blues now, Git her down to Triple J’s
Poor girl’s got the blues now, Hop on down to Triple J’s
Git dem bones to jumpin’, Let the kitties out to graze
(Mercy, Mercy, Mercy)
Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove
Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move
Mercy on the people, That never feel the groove
Nights at Juke Joint Jerry’s, Makes your spirit move
