Sam "Lightnin' " Hopkins
recording of 1967
from Lightnin'! (Arhoolie 390),
Suzy got a rub board, mama got a tub
They goin' around doin' the rub-de-dub
Ain't it crazy
Ain't it crazy
You know it's crazy
To keep on rubbin' at that...
Was down and out with my head in my hand
Looked for a woman didn't have no man
Wasn't it crazy
Wasn't it crazy
You know it's crazy
To keep on rubbin' at that...
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Was down in town with my head in my hand
Looked for a woman didn't have no man
Wasn't I crazy
Wasn't I crazy
You know it's crazy
To keep on rubbin' at that - same old thing
(Play it one time)
(Now here's what cooked the goose)
Two old maids lyin' in the bed
One turned over this is what she said
Ain't we crazy
Ain't we crazy
You know it's crazy
To keep on rubbin' at that...
Have mercy!
