Don't Get Above Your Raisin

Don't Get Above Your Raisin' - Lester Flatt/Earl Scruggs/The Foggy Mountain Boys

Now I got a girl 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 to earth with me

Now look here girl

Don't you high head me

I ain't forgot how you used to be

When you didn't have nothing

That was plain to see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down to earth with me

Now you need not hold your head so high

Every time you pass me by

For don't mean nothing

To me you see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down to earth with me

Now look here girl

Don't you high head me

I ain't forgot how you used to be

When you didn't have nothing

That was plain to see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down to earth with me

Now look here girl

You'd better be yourself

And leave that other stuff on the shelf

You're a country baby

That's plain to see

Don't get above your raising

Stay down to earth with me
