"Ma" Rainey's Black Bottom

Now, you heard the rest
 Ah, boys, I'm gonna show you the best
 Ma Rainey's gonna show you her black bottom
 Way down south in Alabamy
 I got a friend, they call dancin' Sammy
 Who's crazy about all the latest dances
 Black bottom stomps and the Jew baby prances
 The other night at a swell affair
 Soon as the boys found out that I was there
 They said, "Come on, Ma let's go to the cabaret"
 Where that band you ought to hear me say"
 I want to see that dance you call the black bottom
 I wanna learn that dance
 Don't you see the dance you call your big black bottom
 That'll put you in a trance
 All the boys in the neighborhood
 They say your black bottom is really good
 Come on and show me your black bottom
 I want to learn that dance
 I want to see the dance you call the black bottom
 I want to learn that dance
 Come on and show that dance you call your big black bottom
 It puts you in a trance
 Early last morning 'bout the break of day
 Grandpa told my grandma, I heard him say
 Get up and show your old man your black bottom
 I want to learn that dance
 Now I'm gonna show y'all my black bottom
 They stay to see that dance
 Wait until you see me do my big black bottom
 I'll put you in a trance
 Ah, do it ma, do it, honey
 Look it now Ma, you gettin' kinda rough here
 You gotta be yourself now, careful now
 Not too strong, not too strong, Ma
 I done shown y'all my black bottom
 You ought to learn that dance
