Lyrics
Chorus:
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
