LET YOUR LINEN HANG LOW
(Herb Morand)

Rosetta Howard & Hamfoot Ham with the Harlem Hamfats - 1936


HAMFOOT:
Let your linen hang low
Let your linen hang low
I'd do anything in the world I know
If you let your linen hang low, I mean
Let your linen hang low

ROSETTA:
I ain't goin' let my linen hang low
I ain't goin' let my linen hang low
I don't care what in the world you know
I ain't goin' let my linen hang low, I mean
I ain't goin' let my linen hang low

HAMFOOT:
Let your linen hang low
Let your linen hang low
Close that window and lock that door
And let your linen hang low, I mean
Let your linen hang low

ROSETTA:
I'll let my linen hang low
I'll let my linen hang low
If you got a dollar and a half or more
I'll let my linen hang low, I mean
I'll let my linen hang low

HAMFOOT:
I got a dollar and a half or more
I got a dollar and a half or so
So close that window and lock that door
And let your linen hang low, I mean
And let your linen hang low
