carry it back to rosie - odetta lyrics

Loading...

[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
