-7 7* -6 -7 -6 7* 7* 7* -6 -6-5
Rag Ma-ma Rag, I can’t be-lieve it’s true.
-7 7* -6 -7 -6 7* 7* -6 -6
Rag Ma-ma Rag, A-what did you do?
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 7* 7* 7*
I crawled up to the rail-road track,
-6 -6 7* 7* 7* 7 7 7-6-5*
let the four nine-teen scratch my back.
-7 7 -6 -7
Shag ma-ma shag
-6 7* 7* 7 -6 -6
now what’s come ov-er you.
-7 7 -6 -7
Rag Ma-ma Rag,
-6 -6 7* 7* 7* -6 -5
I’m a pull-ing out your gag.
-6 -6 7* 7* 7* -5* -6 7* 7* 7*
Gon-na turn you loose like an old ca-boose,
-5*-6 7* 7* 7 -6 -6
Got a tail I need a drag.
-6 7 7 7 7 -7 7
I ask a-bout your tur-tle,
-6 7 7 -6* 7 -6* 7 -5*
and you ask a-bout the weath-er,
-6 -3* -5 -6 7 7*7-5-6
Well, I can’t jump the hur-dle
-6 -6 -6 -6 -5* 7 -6
and we can’t get to-geth-er.
7 7 7 -6 7 6
We could be re-lax-ing
7 7 7 7 7
in my sleep-ing bag,
-6 7 -6 7 -6 7 7 -6 7 -6
But all you wan-na do for me ma-ma
-6-6 7* 7* -6 -7
is a Rag Ma-ma Rag.
-6 7* 7* -6 7*-6
There’s no-where to go,
7* 7* -6 -7 -6 -6 7* 7* 7* -6 -6
Rag Ma-ma Rag. Come on re-sin up the bow.
-7 7* -6 -7 7* 7* -6 -5
Rag Ma-ma Rag, where do ya roam?
-7 7* -6 -7 -5* -6
Rag Ma-ma Rag, bring your
7* 7* 7* 7* 7* -6 -5* -6
Skin-ny lit-tle bod-y back home.
-5* -6 -6 -6-5* -6 7* 7* 7*
Its dog eat dog and cat eat mouse,
-6 -6 -7 -7 -6 7* -6 7 -6 7 7 6

-9* 11 -9* 11 -9* 11
-9* 8 -7* 7* -7* 7* -7* 7*
-9 -10 -10 -9 11* 11 -10
Hail stones beat-in on the roof,
9 -9 -10-10-10 11* 11 -10
the bour-bon is a hun-dred proof,
9 -9 -10-10 -9 -10 11* 11-10 11
it’s you and me and the tel-e- phone
-9 -10 -10-9 -9 11* 11 -10-9
Our des-tin-y is quite well known.
-9 -10 -10 -9 11* -9 -10 11
We don’t need to sit and brag.
-9 -10 -10 -9-10 -9 11* 11 -9 -10
All we got-ta do is Rag Ma-ma Rag
-7 7* -6 -7 7* 7* -6 -5
Rag Ma-ma Rag. Where do you roam?
