Rag, Mama, Rag (Take 1)

Says I'm goin' uptown, hat in my hand, lookin' for the woman ain't got no man
Just as well be lookin' for a needle in the sand, lookin' for a woman ain't got no man

Oh rag, rag, rag, said do that rag
Oh rag, oh rag, rag, said do that rag

Said I wouldn't've thought my gal would treat me so, love another man stayed in my back door
Mind, mama, what you sow, you got to reap just what you sow!

Rag, rag now, rag, baby; rag, mama, said do that rag
Oh rag, do it a long time, rag, said do that rag

Now if you get you one woman, better get you two, one for your buddy, other one for you
Got me a wife and a sweetheart too, wife don't love me, my sweetheart do

Oh rag, rag, baby, rag; rag, mama, said do that rag
Oh rag, rag, rag, baby, said do that rag

Yeah, Skouda-bouda-douda-bm-badadmbabaw
Bedeedm-beededm-beedadm-bebaw
Bedeedm-beededm-beedadm-bebaw

Oh rag, oh rag, baby, rag, mama, said do that rag
Oh rag, oh rag, baby, rag, mama, said do that rag
Now rag, baby

Oh rag, oh rag
Rag, mama, said do that rag

Said my gal hollered, "Murder!" I ain't raised my hand, pistol in my pocket, blackjack in my hand
Took my gal under the willow tree, ought'a hear her hollerin', "Don't murder me!"

Oh rag, ssh, oh rag, rag now, baby, rag, said do that rag, oh
Rag, oh rag, baby, rag, then, said do that rag

Rag now, gal
