Rag Mama Rag Take 2 by Blind Boy Fuller Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1935

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

Says I wouldn't've thought my baby 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!

Oh rag, sho! Rag now, rag baby, said do that rag
Oh rag, oh rag, rag baby, said do that rag

Skouda-mboudouda-mbudam-babaw
Bedeedm-beededm-beedadm-bebaw
Skou-douda-mbadam-buba!
Bedeedm-ba-ba-ba!

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

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

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

Now rag baby!
Oh sho!
Oh rag, rag mama, said do that rag
