COMMENTS: A Blind Blake song, so say Michael C. and Dick

I also have Clarence Johnson doing a much blander version

TEXT:
E
G#
Mama bought a rooster, took it for a hen
C#7
C#7<"
Thought it'd be layin' eggs, about eight, nine, ten
F#
B
Made it a nest outta some old straw and grass
E
B<" B6<" E
But it didn't lay nothin' but its yass, yass,
yass
Mama bought a rooster, took it for a duck
Set it on the table with its feet
stickin' up
Along came the children with a spoon and a glass
Went to stirrin' up the gravy
from its yass, yass, yass
"Mama, mama, come look at sis
Out in the backyard and
dancin' like this"
"Sister, sister, you come in here fast
And quit that shakin' of your
yass, yass, yass"
She said, "Mama, all the young folks are doin' it these days,
and the old folks too
The young folks tellin' the old folks just what to do
First you
shake your shoulder and you shake it real fast
And if you can't shake your shoulder shake your
yass, yass, yass
Way up yonder on a mountain peak
A bullfrog dipped his tail in a
hot pan of grease
He said, "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, would you kindly let me
pass
I'm a-slippin' and a-slidin' on my yass, yass, yass
Way out in Texas, in
Abilene
A tomcat sat on a sewin' machine
Well that sewin' machine, you know it sewed so
fast
It sewed ninety-nine stitches in his yass, yass, yass
"Twas the night before
Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirrin', not even a mouse
Out by
the chimney I thought I heard somethin' pass
It was Santa Claus skiddin' on his yass, yass,
yass
