SHAKE 'EM ON DOWN
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1938.

You layin' round here, sweet baby, your face full o' frown.
Must I keep dealin'? Must I shove 'em on down?

CHORUS: Baby, must I keep dealin' or must I shove 'em on down?
Babe, I done quit dealin'--hoo!--I got to shove 'em on down.

Now here one thing, sweet baby, I really want you to know:
You can push; you can pull; don't you tear my clothes.

Now there's two big cars, rollin' side to side.
You got my good girl; guess you satisfied.

Now there's a big T for Texas, T for Tennessee,
T for the girl who didn't care for me.

Says I went up to the station, looks up on the boa'd,
Stood time here, that one round the road(?).
