—Bill Monroe
Chorus:
Big ball in Brooklyn, big ball in town
Big ball in Brooklyn, we'll dance around
My love's in jail, boys, my love's in jail.
My love's in jail, boys, can't go her bail.
Goin' to Georgia, goin' to roam
Goin' to Georgia, to make it my home
Workin' on the railroad, sleepin' on the ground,
Eating soda crackers, ten cents a pound
Verse and Chorus:

extra verses:
Little glass of sherry little glass of wine
Let's have a party let's have a time.
Look at all the pretty girls walking down the street
Kicking up their heels they're happy on their feet
