Lyrics
(American folk song)
Verse
Coffee grows on white oak trees;
The river flows with brandy.
Go choose a girl to dance with thee,
As sweet as ‘lasses candy.
Refrain
Four in the middle and you can’t jump Josie,
Four in the middle and you can’t jump Josie,
Four in the middle and you can’t jump Josie,
Hello, Susan Brown.
