Jump Back Lyrics - Steve Winwood

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

Just for fun, here's the original rufus thomas version, written phonetically as rufus wishes, via email: 

 

Last night, night befo 

24 robbers at my door. 

 

I got up and let 'em in 

Hit 'em in da head with a rolling pin. 

 

(chorus: jump back, honey jump back) 

 

When I got 'em in a billy goat town 

Billy goat kicked his pappy down 

 

Now I lay me down to sleep 

Givin the beddbugs a chance to creep 

If I should die before I wake 

I hope the world will jaw the break 

 

Went to the river, couldn't get across 

Paid five dollars for an old gray hoss 

Hoss wouldn't pull, I swapped him for a bull 

Bull wouldn't holla, I sold him for a dolla 

Dolla wouldn't pass, I throwed it in the grass 

Grass wouldn't grow, I chopped it wid a hoe 

Hoe wouldn't chop, I took it to the shop 

Shop made money like a bee makes honey. 

 

(chorus: jump back, baby jump back) 

 

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

Come on now 

Come on now 

Wait a minute now baby 

Wait a minute now baby 

Aw come on baby 

Oh come on baby 

Oh wait a minute baby 

Oh yeah yeah
