LYRICS:


'Yeah'

Got to shake it up an go
Ah, shake it up an go
Ah, you know great women
Sho' got to shake it up an go

Now, my mama bought a chicken
Swap it for a hen
When she start lovin'
Was too bad gin

Got to swoop it up an go
Ah, shake it up an go
Ah, ya high-grade women
Sho' got to shake it up an go

I done tol' you once
I tell you no mo'
Next time I tell ya
I'm gonna have to let you go

You got to shake it up an go
Or, rip it up an go
Ah, you low-grade women
Sho' got to shake it up an go

Now, my mama tol' me
Papa's startin' cry
'Son, you're too young a-man
To have them women yo' side

You got to shake it up an go
Oh, step it up an go
Now, you big fat mama
Sho' got to shake it up an go

I done tol' you once
Tell you know mo'
You can get my lovin'
If you let him go

You got to shake it up an go
I mean shake it up an go
Ah, you big fat mama
Sho' got to shake it up an go

'Shake it up some a minute'

(guitar)

Yeah
Yeah

'Play all the time'

Yeah!

'Long time'

I'll shake it up an go
I'll shake it up an go
Now, you big fat mama
Sho' got to shake it up an go

Now, look-a-here, baby
Don't mean no harm
Mockin' my friend
But he carried on

Like when you shake it up an go
Like when you shake it up an go
Ah-ooo
Did but I had to go

Yeah!

'Long time'

(guitar)

Got to shake it up an go
Oh, long as you get up an go
Oh, you highway mama
Sho' got to shake it up an go

(guitar to en)

Yeah!

Uh-huh!

Yes, yes

Haha.

I've posted all of the Tommy McClennan Stuff thatI have.  I'd love to own all of his 78's one day!

[Tonymostrom]

Well, he's yet another Great whose reputation hasn't been sufficiently inflated by journalists....but I love his stuff. Gonna stop & listen to all of your postings now.
