Mississippi Fred Mcdowell – Shake 'em On Down lyrics
Spoken:
Poss. A. Lomax: Alright
Fred: See?, like that.
A. L.- 1, 2, 3, Go!

Put 'em down, put 'em down
Put 'em down, good Lordy
Put 'em down, good Lordy
Put 'em down, shake 'em down

Good Lordy, shake 'em down
Good Lordy, shake 'em down
Good Lordy, shake 'em down
Good Lordy, shake 'em down

If you, come to my house
You's gon' find
Me around, good Lordy
Stop right there, baby go in
Shake 'em on down
Lordy, must I Lo-ord

Shake 'em down, to my house
Good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

If you see my baby, Lordy
Stand around
You know we gettin' ready, mama
We gonna shake 'em on down
Lordy, must I Lo-ho-hord

(guitar & comb)

Shake 'em down, to my house
Good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Put yo' knees together
Babe, let yo' backbone move
Can't-a woman in town
Cain't shake 'em down like you, Lordy
Must I, Lo-ord

Shake 'em down, to my house
Good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Whoa, Lo-o-ord (chorus continues) 1. 39

Shake 'em down, to my house
Good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, to my house

Whoa, Lo-o-ord 1. 51

Shake 'em down, to my house
Good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, good Lordy
To my house, good Lordy
Shake 'em down, to my house

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house

Far away up over the hill, baby
Lord, to get some ice
Befo' we got back, baby
Lord, we shook 'em down twice
Lordy, must I, Lord

Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house
Shake 'em down, to my house.

(guitar - slide, picking, strumming, and comb to end)
