RAG MAMA RAG
(J.R. Robertson)
The Band - 1970


Rag Mama Rag, I can't believe its true.
Rag Mama Rag, what did you do?  
I crawled up to the railroad track, let the four nine-teen scratch my back. 

Shag mama shag now whats come over you  
Rag Mama Rag, I'm a pulling out your gag. 
Gonna turn you lose like an old caboose, 
Got a tail I need a drag.
I ask about your turtle, and you ask about the weather,
Well, I can't jump the hurdle and we can't get together.
We could be relaxing in my sleeping bag,
But all you want to do for me mama is a Rag Mama Rag.
There's nowhere to go,  

Rag Mama Rag.
Come on resin up the bow.               |

Rag Mama Rag, where do ya roam?
Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body right home.

Its dog eat dog and cat eat mouse, you can 
Rag Mama Rag all over my house.

Hail stones beatin on the roof, 
the bourbon is a hundred proof,
its you and me and the telephone
Our destiny is quite well known.
We don't need to sit and brag.  
All we gotta do is 
Rag Mama Rag
Rag Mama Rag.                
Where  do you roam?
Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body back home
