Hats Off to (Roy) Harper

When I done quit hollerin' baby, I believe I'll shake 'em on down

Get my babe, won't be late, You know by that I mean seconds late

Ah, must I holler, Must I shake 'em on down,

Well I've been mistreated, babe, I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Well I ain't no monkey. I can't climb no tree,

No brown skin woman gonna make no monkey out of me,

I ain't no monkey, Sure can't climb no tree,

I been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down,

Well I've been mistreated babe I believe I'll shake 'em on down.

Listen mama, Put on your mornin' gown'

Put in your nightshirt Mama we gonna shake 'em down

Must I holler? Must I shake 'em on down?

Gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,

If that don't get her, Sure my shot, shot, shot-gun will,

Yeah, I gave my baby a twenty dollar bill,

If that don't get that woman, I'm sure my shot-gun will.
