Washer Woman

(الألبوم: Levon Helm & The RCO All-Stars - 1977)

Washer woman, I know you're tired
Of taking in clothes
A dollar three-eighty a day
Your back is hurting
And that's for certain
You been bending over half of the day

You're beat them clothes on a washtub now
Scrub 'em in an iron tub
But as long as we keep singing this song
I know you won't mind working
All day long

If you rub-a-dubba-dubba
Mama, bust them suds
And scrub, mama scrub
And then you rub-a-dubba-dubba
Mama, down in the tub
We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And we, all the time
We gotta scrub, mama scrub
And now now, get down get down
And scrub, mama scrub

You oughta listen at me, mama
You ain't gonna never fail
You started saving in '44 now
You know you save 'em for a rainy day

Please come to me, mama
We ain't got time to play
Soapy water and dirty clothes now
They got you bending over half of the day

We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba
Mama, bust them suds
And scrub, mama scrub
We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba
Mama, down in the tub
We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And then we, bust them suds
Scrub, mama scrub
We gotta, down in the tub
We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And then we, bust them suds
Scrub, mama scrub
We gotta, down in the tub
We gotta scrub, mama scrub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub
And then we scrub, mama scrub
