You know, we didn't do our usual thorough job on this. I can verify the lyrics Allan C. posted - they seem to be an exact transcription of the 1950 Ames Brothers recording. Is there another version?
Who Wrote That Song? says "Rag Mop" was written in 1950 by Johnnie Lee Wells and Deacon Anderson, popularized by the Ames Brothers.
And Annie, I like the song. Allan C. is just too young to appreciate it.
