Chorus:
Coffee grows on white oak trees;
The river flows with brandy.
Go choose a girl to dance with thee,
As sweet as 'lasses candy.
Verses
Two in the middle and I can't jump Josie,
Two in the middle and I can't get around,
Two in the middle and I can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.
Four in the middle and I can't jump Josie,
Four in the middle and I can't get around,
Four in the middle and I can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.
Wheel around, turn around I can't jump Josie,
Wheel around, turn around I can't get around,
Wheel around, turn around I can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.

Get out of the rain if you can't jump Josie,
Get out of the rain if you can't get around,
Get out of the rain if you can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.
Cow in the well and I can't jump Josie,
Cow in the well and I can't get around,
Cow in the well and I can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown
Fiddler's drunk and I can't jump Josie,
Fiddler's drunk and I can't get around,
Fiddler's drunk and I can't jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.
Finale
Railroad, steamboat, river and canal,
I lost my true love on that raging canal,
And she's gone, gone, gone,
And she's gone, gone, gone,
And she's gone on that raging canal.
