That's How Rhythm Was Born

(álbum: Sing: Chapter 1 - 2009)

Ooohwee

Ah yeah

Down south, the banjos cry too,
Everybody whose saying hidee hi too,
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
That's how rhythm was born

They've praised the mighty forgiver,
They've washed their sins in the river,
Cold water made 'em all shiver,
That's how rhythm was born

Folks came down,
Gathered round that old swiney shore,
Caught the craze and sang his praise,
They all cried why don't you give us some more

Down south, the banjos cry too,
Everybody's singing hidee hi too,
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
That's how rhythm was born

Down south, the banjos cry too,
Everybody whose saying hidee hi too,
While the moon beams danced on the Bayou,
That's just how rhythm was born

They've praised the mighty forgiver,
They've washed their sins in the river,
Cold water well it made 'em wanna shiver,
That's how rhythm was born

Folks came down,
Gathered round that old swiney shore,
Caught the craze and sang his praise,
And cried, come on, gimme some more

You can ask anyone sir,
They lights will be over yonder, (?)
Yady yady yady yady yady yadi
That's how rhythm was born

Banjo's cry too
Don't they hidee hi too
Dance on the Bayou
That's just the reason that rhythm was born

Praise and forgivin
Wash their sins in the river
Cold water makes 'em all shiver
And that's just the reason rhythm was born

Folks came down
And gathered around that swiney shore
Caught the craze and sang his praise
They all cried why don't ya gimme some more

Ask you anyone sir,
And they be glad to answer you sir,
The lights will be over yonder,
That's just the reason that rhythm was born
That's how rhythm was born
