The Band (1970)

Rag Mama Rag,
I can't believe its true.
Rag Mama Rag,
A - 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 to-gether.
We could be relaxing in my sleeping bag,
But all you want to do for me mama is a
Rag Mama Rag
Theres no-where 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.
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.

Rag Mama Rag. Where do you roam?
Rag Mama Rag, bring your skinny little body back home.
