F                                  A#
Rag Mama Rag; I can't believe its true.
F                             A#
Rag Mama Rag, a-what did you do?
    F                F7
I crawled up to the railroad track,
         A#             D#7
Let the four nineteen scratch my back.

F
Shag mama shag, now, whats come over you?
                                   A#
Rag Mama Rag, I'm pulling out your gag.
        F                     F7

F
Rag Mama Rag, come on resin 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

Chorus:
Hailstones beatin' on the roof
The bourbon is a hundred proof
And 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
