Lyrics Ricky Skaggs

Ricky Skaggs

Don't Get Above Your Raisin'

Now I got a gal that's sweet to me

She just ain't what she used to be

Just a little high headed

That's plain to see.

Don't get above your raising

Stay down on earth with me

Now looky here gal don't you high hat me

I ain't forgot what you used to be.

When you didn't have nothing

That was plain to see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down on earth with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Now you need not hold your head so high

Every time you pass me by

For it don't mean nothing

To me you see.

Don't get above your raising

Stay sown on earth with me

Now looky here gal you better be yourself

And leave that other stuff on the shelf.

You're country baby

That's plain to see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down on earth with me.

--- Instrumental ---

Now I got a gal that's sweet to me

She just ain't what she used to be

Just a little high headed

That's plain to see.

Don't get above your raising

Stay down on earth with me...
