Don't get above your raising

Don't Get Above Your Raisin
By Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs

Well I got a gal that's sweet ta' me,
She just ain't what she used ta' be,
Just a little high headed,
That's plain ta see.
* Don't get above your raisn'
Stay down ta' earth with me.

Now lookee here gal don't ya' high hat me,
I ain't forgot what you used ta be
When you didn't have nuthin,
That was plain ta' see.
* Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down ta' earth with me.

Instrumental - 1 time around

Now you don't have ta' raise your head so high
Every time you pass me by
'Cause it don't mean nuthin'
To me you see.
* Don't get above your raisin'
Stay down ta' earth with me

Now lookee here gal you'd better be yourself
And leave that other stuff on the shelf
You're a country baby
That's plain ta' see.
* Don't get above your raisin
Stay down ta' earth with me.

Instrumental - 2 rounds

Well I got a gal that's sweet ta' me,
She just ain't what she used ta' be,
Just a little high headed,
That's plain ta' see.
* Don't get above your raisin
Stay down ta' earth with me.
