I changed it over that last few years to Jump and Go! But, still, maybe
I'll drop it completely.

In a pinch, I adapted the song to be "Jump, Jump,
High and Low". Not
sure if that passes muster by today's standards or not.
Sue, I'd love to have your Popcorn Dance!

Peter Amidon and the New England Dancing Master
have written and
published a similar singing game— different melody and words
(original)
called, I believe, “Jump in the Valley.” I feel like “Jump Jim Joe” is
mostly NOT done these days due to it being a direct adaptation of “Jump Jim
Crow”.
I myself wrote an original singing/ jumping dance called “The Popcorn
Dance.”
Written roughly to the tune of Soldiers Joy. It is yet
unpublished but I am happy to share it with individuals directly.

It
was such a short and easy song, very accessible to early primary grades.
