Lyrics: Spencer Davis Group. Their First LP. Jump Back.

(Rufus Thomas)

Last night, the night before (jump back, baby, jump back)
Twenty four robbers was at my door (jump back, baby, jump back)
I got up to let 'em in (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hit 'em on the head with a rollin' pin (jump back, baby, jump back)
Downtown sycamore town, (jump back, baby, jump back)
Billy goat laid his poppa down (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

Well, I went back home to get some sleep (jump back, baby, jump back)
I give the bed bugs the time to creep (jump back, baby, jump back)
If one should bite before I wake (jump back, baby, jump back)
Hope the world enjoys the break (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

Paid 5 dollars for an old grey horse (jump back, baby, jump back)
Horse wouldn't pull, so I swapped for a bull (jump back, baby, jump back)
Bull wouldn't holler so I sold it for a dollar (jump back, baby, jump back)
The dollar I wouldn't need so I throwed it in the grass (jump back, baby, jump back)
The grass wouldn't grow, so I chopped it with a hoe (jump back, baby, jump back)
The hoe wouldn't chop, so I took it to the shop (jump back, baby, jump back)
The shop made money like the bees make honey (jump back, baby, jump back)
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Oh, jump back, baby, jump back
Jump, jump

You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
You gotta jump back, baby, every single night
Why don't you jump back, baby?
You gotta jump back, baby
