[1st verse:]
|
Do my ears deceive me or am I goin' mad?
|
Honey, please believe me, that my hearin' ain't bad
|
But something seems to tell me that I'm list'nin' to Rag
|
I've been suspectin' so all night
|
Tunes I've heard befo' was only music what ain't
|
Melody like this is what an artist can't paint
|
Go get me some ammonia 'cause I fear I must faint
|
I'm suffocating with delight
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Stop dat rag, keep on playin', honey
|
Stop dat rag, hear me prayin', honey
|
Run away, I feel that I must be alone
|
But don't you dare to leave me, 'till the cows come home
|
Cease dat strain, please repeat it, honey
|
Once again, and I'll meet it, honey
|
Oh, I'm sad
|
No, I'm glad
|
Stop dat rag, I'm sayin'
|
I mean keep on playin'
|
Don't you dare to stop dat rag
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Call in some physician, 'cause I feel that I'm ill
|
Somehow or another, hon', my feet won't keep still
|
Please request that leaderman to keep a-playin' till
|
I cry enough, enough some more
|
Hon, I'll never forgive you, just for takin' me here
|
Take me miles and miles away from here anywhere
|
Just raise a hand to move me, mister man, if you dare
|
I'm satisfied to die right now
|
