DOUBLED UP IN A KNOT
As recorded by Bo Carter, 1936.

1. Go down the river; there is something new.
It ain't nothing to it; it ain't hard to do.

CHORUS: You got to double in a knot.
Oh, you're doubled in a knot.
I mean you're doubled in a knot and you give your daddy all you got.

2. Now listen here, baby, this is comin' to a test.
We gon' see who doubled in a knot the best. CHORUS

3. Now listen here, baby; this ain't no fun.
Double in a knot right, you'll always get my mon'. CHORUS

4. Say you double in a knot; here's the way:
You can't make no money layin' straight these days. CHORUS

5. You can double in a knot or you can let it be.
You won't hold your man, you see. CHORUS

6. Now listen here, baby; bear this in mind:
You double in a knot right, you'll always have a dime. CHORUS

7. The womens these days is tryin' to learn something new.
See if they can take your man from you.

LAST CHORUS: They are doublin' in a knot.
Oh, they're doubled in a knot.
I mean, they're doubled in a knot and they'll give their daddy all they got.
