We went dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Grabbed a spot on the rock where the river rolls
Every woman every man loves The Log Jam Band
And goes dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

When you’re down in the mouth and the times are grim
They will tickle your ribs at the Elbow Inn
‘Cause seein’ bras on the ceilin’ you can’t help but grin
And go dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

Dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
Grab a spot on the rock where the river rolls
Every woman every man loves The Log Jam Band
And goes dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

Old man [bad word] Sheldon’s store
Born he claims back in nineteen hundred and four
He’s just pullin’ our legs right across the floor
Got us dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

Of all the sights we’ve seen and the places we’ve been
You can have your giant peanut and your muffler men
‘Cause when the river gets to risin’ nothin’ saves your skin
Like dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

La la la la la la la la la la (2X)
You can tell all your friends that it ain’t no kinda sin
To go dancin’ on the devil’s elbow
La la la la la la la la la la (2X)
In a state called, “MO.” we’re all good to go
Dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow

Still the good Lord knows
You best stay on your toes
When you’re dancin’ on the Devil’s Elbow
La la la la la la (4X)
