Doin' That Rag - 2001 Remaster

Lyrics

Sittin' in Mangrove valley chasing light beams
 Everything wanders from baby to Z
 Baby, baby, babe, pretty it all on Tuesday
 Old like a rum drinkin' demon at tea
 Baby, baby, tell me what's the matter?
 What, what tell me what's your why how?
 Tell me why will you never come home?
 Tell me what's your reason if you've got a good one
 Everywhere I go the people all know
 Everyone is doin' that rag
 Everywhere I go the people all know
 Everyone is doin' that rag
 Take my line and go fishin' for a Tuesday
 Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea
 Gave my baby twenty or forty good reasons
 Couldn't find any better ones in the mornin' at three
 The rain gonna come but the rain gonna go you know
 Steppin' off sharply from the rank and file
 Awful cold and dark like a dungeon
 Maybe get a little bit dark before the day
 Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters
 Everyone is doin' that rag
 Hipsters, flipsters, real cool chicksters
 Everyone's doin' that rag
 You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset
 No one is watchin' or standin' in your shoes
 Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning
 Everything promised is delivered to you
 Don't neglect to pick up what your share is
 All the winter birds are wingin' home now
 Hey love, go and look around you
 Nothing out there you haven't seen before now
 Wading in the water and you'll never get wet
 If you keep on doin' that rag
 Wading in the water and you'll never get wet
 If you keep on doin' that rag
 One eyed jacks and the deuces are wild
 And the aces are crawlin' up and down your sleeve
 Come back here, baby Louise
 And tell me the name of the game that you play
 Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
 Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
 Is it all fall down? Is it all go under?
