RAISE A RUCKUS TONIGHT chrom
Pre-Civil War African-American song
Key: D

-6*-6* -5  -5   -6* -6*  -5
My old mas-ter prom-ised me,
 -5   6  6   6  6   -6*
Raise a ruck-us to-night
 -5   -6* -6* -5   -5  -6* -6* -5
That when he died he'd set me free
 -5  -5  6   6  6   -5
Raise a ruck-us to-night
-5  -6* -6* -5  -5   -6* -6*  -5
He lived un-til his head got bald
 -5  -5  6   6  6   -6*
Raise a ruck-us to-night
-5  -6* -6*  -5   -5
And gave up think-in'
  -5 -6* -6* -6* -5
'Bout dy-in' at all
 -5  -5  6   6  6   -5
Raise a ruck-us to-night
 -6* -5 -6* -5  -5   6    -5   -5 -4  -5
Come a-long lit-tle chil-dren come a-long
 -6*  -7   -7   -8  -7  -7  -6*   6
Come while the moon is shin-ing bright
 -6* -5 -6* -5  -5   6    -5   -5 -4  -5
Come a-long lit-tle chil-dren come a-long
 -5   -5  6   -6* -5  -6* 6  6   -5
We're gon-na raise a ruck-us to-night
