Jump Back Baby

Jump Back Baby - Rufus Thomas

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Last night night before

24 robbers at my door

I got up and let me in

Hit 'em in da head with a rolling pin

When I got 'em in a Billy goat town

Billy goat kicked his pappy down

Oh jump back baby jump back

Oh jump back baby jump back

Oh jump jump

Jump back baby jump back

Now I lay me down to sleep

Givin the bedbugs a chance to creep

If one should bite before I wake

Hope the world his jaw will break

Oh jump back baby jump back

Oh jump back baby jump back

Oh jump jump

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

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 jump

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Oh wait a minute baby

Oh wait a minute baby

Oh wait a minute baby

Oh wait a minute baby

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Oh come on baby

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back

Jump back baby jump back
