Rag Mama rag, I can’t believe its true
Rag Mama rag, what did you do?
I crawled up to the railroad track
Let the 4:19 scratch my back

Sag Mama sag, what’s come over you
Rag Mama rag, I’m pullin’ out your gag
Gonna turn you loose like an old caboose
Got a tail I need to drag
I ask about your turtle
And you ask about the weather
I can’t jump a hurdle and
We can’t get together
We could be relaxin’
In my sleepin’ bag
But all you want to do for me, Mama, is

Rag Mama rag, there’s no where to go
Rag mama rag, come on, rosin 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

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
