Ma Rainey
Down In The Basement
[Intro]
Lord, this is a low down day, boys
Take me to the basement

[Verse]
I've got a man, piano hound
Plays anything that's goin' around
When he plays that highbrow stuff
I shout "Brother, that's enough"

[Chorus]
So take me to the basement
That's the lowest I can go
I want somethin' low down
Daddy, want it nice and slow
I will shimmy from A to Z
If you'll play that thing for me
So take me to the basement
That's the lowest I can go

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Take me to the basement
That's the lowest I can go
I want somethin' low down
Daddy, want it nice and slow
I can shimmy from A to Z
If you'll play that thing for me
Take me to the basement
That's thе lowest I can go
