Jump Back - Rufus Thomas

Last night, night before

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

24 robbers at my door

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

I got up and let 'em in

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Hit 'em in da head with a rolling pin

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

When I got 'em in a Billy goat town

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Billy goat kicked his pappy down

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back

Oh, jump, jump

Now, I lay me down to sleep

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Givin' the bedbugs a chance to creep

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

If one should bite before I wake

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Hope the world his jaw will break

(Jump back, baby, jump back)

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back

Oh, jump back, baby, jump back

Oh, jump, jump

Went to the river, I couldn’t get across

Paid five dollars for an old gray horse

Horse wouldn’t pull, I swapped him for a bull

Bull wouldn’t holla, I sold him for a dollar

Dollar wouldn’t pass, I throwed it in the grass

Grass wouldn’t grow, I chopped it with a hoe

Hoe wouldn’t chop, I took it to the shop

Shop made money like a bee makes honey

Oh, jump back baby, jump back

Oh, jump back baby, jump back

Oh, jump

Wait a minute, baby

(Jump)

Ooh, come on do it

(Jump)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Jump)

Ooh, yeah, yeah

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, wait a minute, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, wait a minute, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Jump back, jump back, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Jump back, jump back, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Jump back, jump back, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Jump back, jump back, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, wait a minute, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, wait a minute, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)

Oh, come on, baby

(Oh, jump back)
