Washer Woman - Levon Helm, The RCO All-Stars

Washer woman, I know you’re tired

Of taking in clothes

A dollar three-eighty a day

Your back is hurtin'

And that’s for certain

You been bendin' over half of the day

You’re beat them clothes on a washtub now

Scrub 'em in an iron tub

But as long as we keep singin' this song

I know you won’t mind workin'

All day long

If you rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, bust them suds

And scrub, mama scrub

And then you rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, down in the tub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And we, all the time

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And now now, get down get down

And scrub, mama scrub

You oughta listen at me, mama

You ain’t gonna never fail

You started savin' in '44 now

You know you save 'em for a rainy day

Please come to me, mama

We ain’t got time to play

Soapy water and dirty clothes now

They got you bendin' over half of the day

We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, bust them suds

And scrub, mama scrub

We gotta rub-a-dubba-dubba

Mama, down in the tub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And then we, bust them suds

Scrub, mama scrub

We gotta, down in the tub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And then we, bust them suds

Scrub, mama scrub

We gotta, down in the tub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

We gotta scrub, mama scrub

And then we scrub, mama scrub
