Rag Mama Rag - Levon Helm

Rag mama rag, I can’t believe it’s true

Rag mama rag, what did you do?

I crawled up to the railroad track

Let the four nineteen scratch my back

Shag mama shag now, what’s come over you

Rag mama rag, I’m a pulling out your gag

Gonna turn you a loose 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 oh, you can’t get together

And 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 risen up the bow

Rag mama rag, where do you roam?

Rag mama rag, bring your skinny little body back home

It’s 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

It’s 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, mama rag

Rag mama rag, where do you roam?

Rag mama rag, bring your skinny little body back home
