Lyrics

Don't get above your raisin
By lester flat & earl scruggs

Well I got a gal that's sweet ta' me
She just ain't what she used ta' be
Just a little high headed
That's plain ta see
* don't get above your raisn'
Stay down ta' earth with me

Now lookee here gal don't ya' high hat me
I ain't forgot what you used ta be
When you didn't have nuthin
That was plain ta' see
* don't get above your raisin'
Stay down ta' earth with me

Instrumental - 1 time around

Now you don't have ta' raise your head so high
Every time you pass me by
'Cause it don't mean nuthin'
To me you see
* don't get above your raisin'
Stay down ta' earth with me

Now lookee here gal you'd better be yourself
And leave that other stuff on the shelf
You're a country baby
That's plain ta' see
* don't get above your raisin
Stay down ta' earth with me

Instrumental - 2 rounds

Well I got a gal that's sweet ta' me
She just ain't what she used ta' be
Just a little high headed
That's plain ta' see
* don't get above your raisin
Stay down ta' earth with me

Instrumental fade out
