Saint John's Stomp Lyrics

Pretty little girl from St. John's River bend

She was just 15, left down by the freeway's end

It was years ago, and she was pretty as a picture

If you come on home, you know I'm gonna get you

Aw, little girl from down by the freeway's end

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where are you now? I wanna get to you, I don't know how

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where did you go? Won't you come on home and dance the zydeco

I drive past your house whenever I go out of town

I can't wait for the day I see you back around

It may be a year, and it may take more

But that's not too long for the one I adore

Aw, little girl, I'm prayin' that your homeward bound

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where are you now? I wanna get to you, I don't know how

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where did you go? Won't you come on home and dance the zydeco

Oh Jacqueline, I wanna put you in my world

And if you come on home, I wanna make you my little girl

We can set up house down by the riverbend

And you and I can share love without end

Aw, little girl, I wanna make you my whole world

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where are you now? I wanna get to you, I don't know how

Oh my, my, my, sweet Jacqueline, where did you go? Won't you come on home and dance the zydeco
