lyrics

Good people, you're invited tonight
To the Riverboat Shuffle!
Good people, we got rhythm tonight
At the Riverboat Shuffle!

They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,
She's the best in Loosianna;
So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.
Professor Johnson on the fiddle!

Good people, you'll hear Milenberg Joys
In a special orchestration!
Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys
I'n a room full of noise.

She'll teach you to shuffle it right,
So, bring your baby;
I'll be seein' ya at the Riverboat Shuffle tonight!

All you cotton toters,
Mississippi floaters,
Gather all about!
Gather all about!

Got some things to tell ya.
Not a thing to sell ya.
Listen and you'll all find out.
What I'm about to say
WIll take your breath away,
So, come a little closer,
Just a little closer,
I got a lotta news to shout! Hey!

Good people, you're invited tonight
To the Riverboat Shuffle!
Good people, we got rhythm tonight
At the Riverboat Shuffle!

They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,
She's the best in Loosianna;
So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.
Professor Johnson on the tenor!

Good people, you'll hear Milenberg Joys
In a special orchestration!
Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys
In a room full of noise.

She'll teach you to shuffle it right,
So, bring your baby;
Won't you meet me at the Riverboat Shuffle,
I hope to see ya at the Riverboat Shuffle,
We'll be swingin' at the Riverboat Shuffle tonight!

Jared Emerson-Johnson's One-Man Skeleton Revival San Francisco, California

Born out of pandemic lockdown madness, Jared Emerson-Johnson's One-Man Skeleton Revival began as an experiment in jug band overdubbing that blossomed into an album celebrating some of the best tunes written, recorded, and/or published in 1924. Originally intended as a personal project for friends and family, the end result came out well enough to deserve a public release...maybe. ... more
