Why don't you come along?
Little children come along
While the moon is shining bright (yes)
Get on board down by the river shore
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight (yeah-ah)
Why don't you come along?
Little children come along
While the moon is shining bright
Get on board down by the river shore
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight
Old aunt Donna went to town
Raise a rukus tonight
Ridin' a billy-goat leadin' a hound
Raise a rukus tonight
Hound-dog bark, billy-goat jumped
Raise a rukus tonight
Threw aunt Donna on her rump
Raise a rukus tonight
Why don't you come along?
Little children come along
While the moon is shining bright (yes)
Get on board down by the river shore
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight
[?] that a preacher won't steal
Raise a rukus tonight
But I caught two in my cornfield
Raise a rukus tonight
One had a shovel and one had a hoe
Raise a rukus tonight
Man, they were diggin' the potatoes by the row
Raise a rukus tonight
Why don't you come along?
Little children come along
While the moon is shining bright (yes)
Get on board down by the river shore
We're gonna raise a rukus tonight
Way down yonder in chit'lin' switch
Raise a rukus tonight
Bullfrog jump from ditch to ditch
Raise a rukus tonight
Bullfrog jumped from the bottom of the well
Raise a rukus tonight
Swore, by God, he jumped from hell
Raise a rukus tonight
Why don't you come along?
Little children come along
While the moon is shining bright
Get on board down by the river shore
We're gonna raise a rukus (when?) tonight
