They Raided the Joint - Helen Humes/Edith Smith[00:00:00]
They raided the joint[00:00:08]
Took everybody down but me[00:00:10]
Yes they raided the joint[00:00:13]
Took everybody down but me[00:00:16]
I was over in the corner[00:00:20]
Just as high as I could be[00:00:22]
Now some were playing blackjack[00:00:26]
Some were playing skin[00:00:28]
I had plenty money[00:00:30]
But they wouldn't let me in[00:00:31]
Yes they raided the joint[00:00:33]
Took everybody down but me[00:00:35]
I was over in the corner[00:00:39]
Just as high as I could be[00:00:40]
They treated me like a stranger[00:00:45]
Like a dirty dog[00:00:47]
Ate up all the chops[00:00:49]
Gave me the tail of the hog[00:00:50]
Then they raided the joint[00:00:52]
Took everybody down but me[00:00:54]
I was over in the corner[00:00:58]
Just as high as I could be[00:00:59]
Now they were drinking gin[00:01:04]
Drinking mighty fast[00:01:06]
They offered me some King Kong[00:01:07]
But I couldn't find a glass[00:01:09]
They raided the joint[00:01:11]
Took everybody down but me[00:01:12]
I was over in the corner[00:01:16]
Just as high as I could be[00:01:18]
Now some were drinking whiskey[00:01:23]
Some were drinking rhum[00:01:25]
They had some sneaky peep[00:01:26]
But they wouldn't give me none[00:01:28]
Yes they raided the joint[00:01:29]
Took everybody down but me[00:01:32]
I was over in the corner[00:01:36]
Knocked out as I could be[00:01:37]
Now gee it sure was funny[00:01:42]
The best I ever saw[00:01:44]
They heard somebody knocking[00:01:46]
And in walked the law[00:01:47]
They raided the joint[00:01:49]
Took everybody down but me[00:01:51]
I was over in the corner[00:01:55]
Just as high as I could be[00:01:57]
Now they were dancing in the kitchen[00:02:01]
Boogin' in the hall[00:02:04]
Boy down the cordon[00:02:05]
Tell the judge about it all[00:02:06]
They raided the joint[00:02:09]
Took everybody down but me[00:02:10]
I was over in the corner[00:02:14]
High as I could be[00:02:17]
