carry it back to rosie - odetta lyrics
[spoken]
this is a song involving wages. a man mentions that when he makes his fifteen cents hes going to carry it home to rosies. and fifteen cents in any period was a very low wage so it’s fortunate this man had a sense of humor
sometimes i plow the old grey mule
and then i fly the curly
when i make my fifteen cents
i carry it on home to rosie
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
somebody stole my old coon dog
boys i wish they’d bring him back
he run the big ones over the fence
the little onеs through the cracks
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
old gal wеars the broken shoe
rich gal wears the slipper
i don’t care what old jack says
i’m gonna ride in a lincoln zephyr
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
whats the matter over there bill?
oh i don’t know jack
you got any [?] in the back over there?
nah but i got the best old [?] you ever tangled in your t**th
i been a*rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling
when i make my fifteen cents i’m gonna carry it home to rosie
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
ooh hoo, ooh well, lordy lordy lord
