Shout!

©2011 Andrew Calhoun

Long tall man from old Gambee
Carve a flute from a trumpet tree
Bound to blow the jubilee
Round the world and back to me

Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round

Big fat man from old Virginny
Ply his cat on a rusty back
Serve 'em short and work 'em skinny,
Big train comin' down the track

Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round

Children, steal away to glory
Run to heaven in a ring
Sip the gourd and sing the story
Turtle dove done droop his wing

Bones a-risin' in the valley,
Hallelujah to the lamb
Blow your trumpet calm and easy
Wake, Father Abraham

Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round

Long tall man from old Gambee
Carve a flute from a trumpet tree
Bound to blow the jubilee
Round the world and back to me

Shout! Shout the fountain flowing!
Shout! Shout the mountain down!
Shout! Shout! The world is going,
Shout! Shout the angels round.
Shout! Shout the trumpet sound!
