The Duck Yas Yas
Stump Johnson, Tampa Red Georgia Tom, hera as recorded bei T. Winslow & N. Katzman


(G)Mama bought a rooster, she (B7)thought it was duck
(She) (E)brought him to the table with its legs straight up
(A)In came the children with a (D7)cup and a glass
(G)To catch the liquor from its yas, yas, yas

Bab', oh, bab' have you ever been to Spain?
Seen those Hoodoo women shakin’ that thing
They got rings on their fingers, bells on their toes
What they've got good, babe, nobody knows

I’m goin’ down Market Street
Where the men and women all do meet
That’s where the men do the Georgia Rub
Women fall in line with a big washtub

Me an' my gal walkin' down the street
She caught the rheumatism in her feet
She stooped over to pick some grass
And the same thing struck her in her yas, yas, yas

You catch the train you call: Fourty-Nine
Carries you down to Caroline
You catch the train, you call: Fourty-Eight
Carries you down to the Golden Gate

You shake your shoulders, you shake 'em fast
You can't shake your shoulders shake your yas, yas, yas
Drink some rooster soup befo' goin' to bed
Wake up in the morning find your own self dead

Down on Morgan there's a good location
Right there next to a gasoline station
That’s where you get your car's oiled and greased
Women cryin': Honey, won't you come in, please

I'm gonna sing this verse, ain't gonna sing no more
Somebody's knockin' on my door
The people upstairs have gone to bed
I better stop that noise b'fore they crack my head
