Way down south where the whippoorwills call
There's gonna be a jubilee
Folks will come from miles around to share their company
There's all day singing and dinner on the ground
And when the day is through there's peace and contentment
At smokey joe's barbeque

Smokey joe's barbeque smokey joe's barbeque
There's always fun for everyone at smokey joe's barbeque
The string band plays turkey in the hay
They play it just for you
You’ll laugh and be gay till the judgment day
At smokey joe's barbeque

When the dogwoods bloom and the red birds sing
That's a time i love to see
When work is through and the crops laid by i dream of reality
When you can lay around in the evening shade
Relax when the day is through just be dancing be happy
At smokey joe's barbeque
