MASHING THAT THING
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1935.

Oh, down the country, something new:
Ain't nothing tell you your heart don't do(?)

CHORUS: 'Bout mashin' that thing,
Oh, mashin' that thing.
Says I never get tired of, baby, Lord, mashin' that thing.

Oh, the old ones doin' it, young ones too.
The old one learned the young one just how to do
'Bout....

I went home last night 'bout half past ten.
I want to mash that thing soon as I got in.
Oh, mashin'....

I woke up this mornin' bout half past fo'.
I had to mash that thing just before I go.
Oh, mashin'....

Now you may go up or down the road.
This I got to bring it home,
Just to mash that thing....

Now you may go, says, to Halifax
This I got will bring you back,
Just to mash that thing....

My baby tried to quit me, says, sometime.
Every time I mash I'll change her mind.
Oh, mashin'....
