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.
