Raise a Rukus Tonight - Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee

Come along, little children, come along, while the moon is shinin' bright

Get on boy, down the river flow, gonna raise a ruckus tonight

Well, this night we’re goin' down cross a forty acre field, raise a ruckus

tonight

Black snake bit me on my heel, raise a ruckus tonight

Turned right around to do my best, raise a ruckus tonight

Fell right back in a hornet’s nest, raise a ruckus tonight

My old uncle promised me, raise a ruckus tonight

When he died he make a will for me, raise a ruckus tonight

Lived so long his head got bald, raise a ruckus tonight

Got off the notion of dyin' at all, raise a ruckus tonight

Well, me and my buddy goin' to town, raise a ruckus tonight

Ridin' a billy goat don’t need no hound, raise a ruckus tonight

Hound barked the billy goat jumped, raise a ruckus tonight

Ooh, my buddy back stretched a stump, raise a ruckus tonight
