Pick a key and use this progression: VI, II, V, I
I also recommend mixing up your standard chords and 7th chords.
In G: E7 A7 D7 G
In D: B7 E7 A7 D
I am going downtown with my hat in my hand
Lookin' for a woman ain't got no man
Might as well be lookin' for a needle in the sand
Lookin' for a woman ain't got no man
Now, dee dee dum a deedly dum, rag mama
Come on, baby, let's do that rag
Now, you get one woman, you better get two
One for your buddy and one for you
You better get a wife and a sweetheart too
Wife don't love you but your sweetheart do
Now, dee dee dum a deedly dum, rag mama
Come on, baby, let's do that rag
I never thought my gal would treat me so
Lover man in my back door
Now, come on mama, what you know
You gonna reap just what you sow
Now, dee dee dum a deedly dum, rag mama
Come on, baby, let's do that rag
Hey, saw my gal with a man, she was holdin' his hand
I had a pistol in my pocket, blackjack in my back
Run outside with a half a brick
Sayin', I'm gonna get that so-and-so
Dee dee dum a deedly dum, rag mama
Come on, baby, let's do that rag
All right, we gonna rag on out now
Whup, bup …
