Elton John - A Town Called Jubilee

Lily pulled a horseshoe from a pile of junk
 Said "I'm gonna keep this good luck
 Piece of iron inside my truck"
 The boy just whispered "OK"
 And grabbed his old black dog
 As we piled on in and cut out through
 That late November fog

 Dull as a ploughshare rusting in the yard
 Old Cotton grinned and waved goodbye
 While the auctioneers all played cards
 On every other Sunday
 I'd walk down to Moe's and back
 Eat a t-bone steak, watch a picture show,
 For a dollar and a half

[Chorus:]
 Come on little sister get up offa my knee
 Gonna settle down someday
 In a town called Jubilee
 Come on brother Jake
 Break on out and a break free
 Gonna set things right and set up a house
 In a town called Jubilee

 That fog came out of nowhere
 Short of what I can tell
 Hand to hand we passed that bucket
 Up and down from the well
 "Gone to California"
 Used to be what folks would say
 Down around these parts if it was me
 I'd have hoped that west bound stage

[Chorus]

 One less hallelujah
 A little less sympathy
 Lily and Jake, the old black dog
 A pinewood box, a rocking horse
 All gone to Jubilee

[Chorus]
