Don’t Get Above My Raising - Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs

Now I got a gal that’s sweet to me

But she just ain’t what she used to be

Just a little high headed that’s plain to see

Don’t get above your raisin', stay down to earth with me

Now look here gal don’t you high head me

For I ain’t forgot how you used to be

When you didn’t have nothin' that was plain to see

Don’t get above your raisin', stay down to earth with me

You need not hold your head so high

Every time you pass me by

For that don’t mean nothin' to me you see

Don’t get above your raisin', stay down to earth with me

Now look here gal you’d better be yourself

And leave that other stuff on the shelf

You’re a country baby that’s plain to see

Don’t get above your raisin', stay down to earth with me
