Low down dog

Holy Modal Rounders


Don't you take me for no low down dog 
Low down dog! 
Don't you know I got my pride 
I just want to walk beside you, baby 
But you say 
But you say 
I must walk behind? 
Well, I ain't holding still for none of that stuff! 

Who will keep your bed warm when I'm gone? 
When I'm gone? 
If you let the fire go out 
Better know what you're about, my baby 
But you say 
But you say 
My bed's warm enough? 
Well I ain't holding still for none of that stuff! 

Who will mind the children when I'm gone? 
When I'm gone? 
When you want to get away 
Who will take them out to play, my baby? 
But you say 
But you say 
Kids are my whole life! 
Well I ain't holding still for none of that stuff! 

Who will feed you peaches when I'm gone? 
When I'm gone? 
Your new lover may be cute 
But will he bring home the fruit, my baby? 
But you say 
But you say 
Peaches make me fat 
Well I ain't holding still for none of that stuff! 

Don't you treat me like no Viet Cong! 
Viet Cong! 
Don't you know I'm from Da Nang 
I just want to let it hang my baby 
But you say 
But you say 
We gonna drop the bomb! 
Well I ain't holding still for none of that stuff! 

Well, on a wagon traveling down your road!
