"Race around" is actually raise a row. Rhymes with bough, not show, but McClintock doesn't rhyme it with anything; means to kick up hell. Can't cite a dictionary definition but I've heard the term all my life in WV, which is closer to 70 yrs than 60. "Raise a rookus" is a similar concept but not used nearly as much around here.

The FM "rambled" through the house, not "rummaged," and I believe he "even done turned up the bedtick." "Sally DuBose" is what I call the lady who gave the ball, but she seems to be an intruder from another song altogether. I first learned this in the 70s from an LP on the European label Roots; listening to both takes on mp3, I think the one I had on vinyl was -2.
