The Band - Rag Mama Rag Lyrics

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

Sag, mama, sag
What's 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 to drag

I ask about your turtle
And you ask about the weather
Well, I can't jump a 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 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 back home
It's dog eat dog and cat eat mouse
You can rag, mama, rag all over my house

Hail stones beating 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, mama, rag
Rag, mama, rag
Where do you roam?
Rag, mama, rag, bring your skinny little body back home
