"Tear it Down" is a great jug band song recorded at least three times in the 20's and 30's under various titles. Everyone who sings it seems to do it a little differently but here is the King David's Jug Band version from 1930.

Tear it Down I had a girl and her name was Eve
Everytime I hit her she hollered 'police'
She cooked them biscuits, she cooked brown
Started workin when I was turned around
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

Chorus:

Keep tearin it down, Bed slats and all
Keep tearin it down, Bed slats and all
Keep tearin it down, Bed slats and all
Keep tearin it down, Bed slats and all
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

Mr. Evan, Mr. Evan oh ain't it a shame
To see that monkey whiffin that cocaine
Went upstairs to ring the bell
Police in the alley giving cocaine ...
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down

chorus

Doodle am doodle am doodle am doodle am
Doodle am doodle am doodle am doodle am
Doodle am doodle am doodle am doodle am
Doodle am doodle am doodle am doodle am
When you catch another mule kicking in your stall
Go and tear it down
