Shake your brown feet, honey
Shake your brown feet, chile
Shake your brown feet, honey
Shake ’em swift and wil’–
Get way back, honey
Do that rockin’ step
Slide on over, darling
Now! Come out
With your left
Shake your brown feet, honey
Shake ’em, honey chile

Sun’s going down this evening–
Might never rise no mo’
The sun’s going down this very night–
Might never rise no mo’–
So dance with swift feet, honey
(The banjo’s sobbing low)
Dance with swift feet, honey–
Might never dance no mo’

Shake your brown feet, Liza
Shake ’em, Liza, chile
Shake your brown feet, Liza
(The music’s soft and wil’)
Shake your brown feet, Liza
(The banjo’s sobbing low)
The sun’s going down this very night–
Might never rise no mo’
