Southern Rag |
| Now we goin' on the ol' Southern… Rag! |
| Way out there on that cotton fields |
| Where them people plant all that rice with sugarcane |
| And peas and so forth grew |
| Aye man, I want a match from you to light my pipe, yeah! |
| Go on, ol' Geechie! |
| I ain’t studyin' 'bout you |
| No, I know you’re here to study me now |
| Soon as you get my rice, I bet you study me then |
| Bet you that |
| Just meet me at the end of the row, now |
| I’ll show her how to pick this cotton |
| Or you can dig potato, either one |
| I strip more rows of sugar cane than you strip in ten years |
| Now we gon' do the dance now |
| It’s called the Geechie Dance |
| Imma give you some music |
| It’s called the Geechie Music, now |
| That’s my gal, get away from him, damn! |
| 'Cause I’m gon' havin' to reckon gon' shake 'em everywhere but loose |
| You better get that thing fixed just like this, now |
| 'Cause I’m gon' stop… |
