JUMBELIAH (ROLL OVER)

Live 23 Jul 1971 version

I said I got a girl I wanna tell you her name
She lives way down south in New Orleans
She's strong like a lion, she growls like a tiger
And I call my woman Jumbeliah
Jumbeliah, she's my fire

Well she comes on dressed like a hurricane
She drives old doctors all insane
She's a sweet little woman, she's a hot rock and roller
Built like Marilyn Monroe and she walks just like Smokey Stover
Jumbeliah, she's my fire

She was born and bred down in Louisiana
Dressed in blue jeans and a red bandana
She loves a man, she roll on him in clover
She loves him so hard, all you can do is
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, over and over again

[Spoken:] Mr. Bobby on the saxophone!
[Sax solo by Bobby Feigenbaum]
[Guitar solo]

Jumbeliah, she's my fire
Well she was born and bred down in Louisiana
Dressed in blue jeans and a red bandana
And when she loves a man, she rolls him in clover
She loves him so hard, all you can do is
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over

[Instrumental]

I said I got a girl I wanna tell you her name
Way down south in New Orleans
Strong like a lion, wild like a tiger
Call my woman Jumbeliah
Jumbeliah, oh yeah, she's my fire
Jumbeliah, she's my fire
Jumbeliah... Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over
Roll over, roll over, roll over, roll over

Info

The above lyrics are for the 23 Jul 1971 performance of JUMBELIAH (ROLL OVER) at Damrosch Park in New York City, NY, with The Bruce Springsteen Band.

The Bruce Springsteen Band, along with several other un-signed groups, performed on 23 Jul 1971 at Damrosch Park as part of the Guggenheim Memorial Concert Series that took place daily in the park during the summer of 1971. Damrosch Park is an outdoor amphitheater at the Lincoln Center For The Performing Arts. In the park included is a bowl-style stage, known as the Guggenheim Band Shell, on which performances took place.

An excellent and almost certainly complete soundboard recording of the Bruce Springsteen Band's 23 Jul 1971 performance at Damrosch Park is in circulation among collectors.
