Mean Jumper Blues Lyrics
I feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door
If you jump this one time, baby
You won't jump no more.
I feel like fallin’ from a treetop to the ground
My rider she got a mean joker
And he don't allow me around, no
And I go there late at night
I go there early in in the mornin'
And I go there late at night
I don't care how late I go there, oh
He never never turns out the light
I believe he's alookin’ for me
He's up all hours of the night
Hey! I believe he's alookin’ for me
He's up all hours of the night
She used to be my rider
And he ain't treatin her right.
Uh and I said she used to be my rider
and he ain't treatin' her right.
He was out on the edge of town
I met this joker one mornin'
and he was out on the edge of town
I had to beg and plead
Just to keep him from blowin' me down
Oh, I got the mean jumper blues, oh
Got the mean jumper blues
Oh, I got them mean jumper blues
I feel like jumpin' through the keyhole in your door
If you jump this one time, baby, yeah
You won't jump no more
I said I said if you ju-ju-just jump this one time, baby, yeah
You won't jump no more
Hey hey yeah! I swear if you jump this one time, baby
Please please jump this one time baby, yeah!
Please please just jump this one time baby, yeah!
You won't jump no more
I said I got the mean jumper blues yeah
I got them mean jumpers blues
wow i can't believe nobody has commented on this song. i'm not too suprised though cuz it is really obscure. i really love it though, it's one of my all time favorites to listen to while driving. it's just one of theose driving songs. def not a counting crows original, i believe it was blind lemon jefferson who did the original.
i got the general broken heart message, but why is the guy refered to as "rider" and what does mean jumper blues mean? i don't really get the allusions in this song. anybody got any ideas or insight?
Its a great song, awesome lyrics. But In my opinion i think "Rider" is referring to a women, and the mean jumper blues is just the way he's feeling blue, Because he can't have his rider. The allusions of this song is that a women is with a joker (man) who is not treating her right and the person whos telling this song goes to the womens house every morning and every night to comfort her. Thats why it said i feel like jumping through the keyhole in your door aka jumping into your life.

I totally agree. I cant believe no one had commented on this! I love this song, I listen to it daily. Your right, it is originally a Blind Melon song. Your general broken heart scenario is almost right on point. Its not a broken heart about "a girl" say, its more about the want to get high, getting high, and all the crazy shit that comes along with it. When he says 'I feel like jumping through the key-hole in your door, just jump this one time baby..." etc is the feeling you get when you wanna get get,...

Once you jump your good. However it is a vicious cycle. All good things must come to an end :) I listen to this song when im having a bad day, and wanting to go fuck up. It really helps.
