Caldonia's Wedding Day

Well, hallelujah, hallelujah, I feel so fine today

Hey, Caldonia's gonna have her wedding day

I got the invitation in the mail today

Hallelujah, hallelujah, Caldonia's wedding day

Well, hallelujah, hallelujah, I feel so fine today

Hey, Caldonia's gonna have her wedding day

I got the invitation in the mail today

Hallelujah, hallelujah, Caldonia's wedding day

Caldonia invited that same old crowd

A-jumpin' like mad, shoutin' out loud

They had barbecued chicken, kidney stew

Bootleg whiskey and chitterlings too

Hallelujah, hallelujah, Caldonia's wedding day

Well, the crowd was jumpin' and the deacon was a-loadin' dice

He said, "Deacon Jones, you know that ain't nice"

The deacon said, "Elder, when the crowd is gone

Let's split the loot and let the dice roll on"

Cryin', "Hey, hey, Caldonia's wedding day"

Well, just before the ceremony begin

The preacher got drunk from drinkin' gin

Caldonia got booted, takin' that mess

Jumped up on the table and pulled up her dress

Cryin', "Hey, hey, this is my wedding day"

Well, the joint began to jump

And the party was really on

The joint began to jump

The ball was really on

Well, the joint began to jump

And the ball was really on

Well, jump everybody, everybody

Jump everybody, everybody

Jump everybody, everybody

Jump everybody, everybody

Well, Caldonia's wedding day
