Texty: CW Stoneking. Jungle Blues.

"That's right folks, who knows what strange wonders awaits our expeditioners
on this journey to the dark corners of the globe, for this scientific purpose,.."
"Uh, excuse me sir, there's been a problem with the boat. Ship's engineer wants to see you at once."
"Quieten down man. We sail by midnight."

An i went off sailin for the Congo,
In a sloop called the mississippi Song-o
Now I'm here singin them Jungle Blues
In a shipwreck, way out on the ocean,
Swimmin blind, lord, prayin and a'hopin,
I washed up singin them Jungle Blues.

Can't you hear them Jungle Drums thumpin?
Buddy, thats' what gets my heart to jumpin,
It ain't nutin but them Jungle Blues,
And the monkeys, goin pitter-patter,
In the darkness, my teeth begin to chatter,
There ain't no cure for them Jungle Blues
