Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee lyrics

Raise A Ruckus Tonight blues lyrics

Chorus: 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 stratched a stump,
Raise a ruckus tonight.
