The Georgia Slop - Jimmy Mccracklin

The Georgia Slop

Jimmy Mccracklin

(Jimmy McCracklin, MERCURY 71516, 1959)

Way down south where I made my stop
They do a dance down there called the Georgia Slop
They all hang out at Pegged Legged Lee's
And they don't give a hoop about no police
Peg Legged Lee is what I'm talking about
Where they knocked out, kicked and dragged them out
They get payed on friday when the work is all done
And they all do it up until Monday come
When they do that Slop they twine those hands
And do the feet like a chicken when it's scratching in sand
You shuffle your feet and spin like a top
You shake-shake-shake the Georgia Slop
Oh, look out now...

I stopped to get a soda and dig that jive
I met a chick, she weighed about three-eighty-five
I started lookin' and I couldn't stop
She and I got together and did the Georgia Slop

Peg Legged Lee is what I'm talking about
They knocked down, kicked and drags them out
On Saturday night they're all knocked out
And when Sunday comes they all will shout
Monday morning when the sun is bright
They all talk about what happened Saturday night
Peg Legged Lee is what I'm talking about
They knocked out, kicked and dragged them out

Wow, do it baby, do it baby
Shake it baby, shake it baby
Do it right, do it right
Come on baby, come on baby
Shake it to the left...

I stopped to get a soda and dig that jive
I met a chick, she weighed about three-eighty-five
I started to lookin' and I couldn't stop
She and I got together and did the Georgia Slop
Peg Legged Lee is what I'm talking about
Where they knocked down, kicked and drags them out

Also recorded by Big Al Downing (COLUMBIA 43185, 1964)
