Tampa Red - Too Black Bad
Than to stay around here and be treated like a dog
Ah, now that's not rag, now that's not rag and it's smooth like that
Now all the little children playing round in a ring
Playing hooky from school just to rag that thing
Ah, oh, now that's not rag, now that's not rag and it's smooth like that
Now some folks say a preacher won't steal
But I caught a preacher in potato field
Ah, oh, now that's not rag, now that's not rag and it's smooth like that
Now one had the sack, the other had the hoe
If that ain't stealing, boys I'd like to know
Ah, now that's not rag, now that's not rag and it's smooth like that
Hey, everybody, come on down and let me play
Hey, whoop that thing down to the brеaker, boys
Wait along, child, don't you hear me talking to you
Hеy, hey, hey, hey
Here come my father with his gun
You ought to see them preachers run
Ah, now that's not rag, now that's not rag and it's smooth like that
