Lightnin’ Hopkins
Ain’t It Crazy (The Rub) (Live at the Fillmore East, New York City, May 15, 1970)
[Verse 1]
Well, mama got the rub board, sister got the tub
They're going around doing the rub-de-rub

[Chorus]
Ain't it crazy? Ain't it crazy?
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that thang

[Verse 2]
Two old maids, they was layin' in a bed
One turned over and this is what she said

[Chorus]
Ain't it crazy? Ain't it crazy?
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that

[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 3]
Now, two old maids, they was sittin' in the sand
Each one thinking the other was a man

[Chorus]
Ain't it crazy? Ain't it crazy?
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' at that thang
[Verse 4]
You know, mama killed a chicken and thought it was a duck
Put him on the table with his feet sticking up

[Chorus]
Ain't it crazy? Ain't it crazy?
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that thang

[Harmonica solo]

[Verse 5]
Now, two old maids, they was sittin' in the sand
Each one thinking the other one's a man

[Chorus]
Ain't it crazy? Ain't it crazy?
Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that

[Outro]
Thank you

Yeah, we're, uh, we're kinda rearranging things, and while we're rearranging things, we're up here gonna relax and smoke a cigarette and have a good time. And you guys down there can casually talk amongst yourselves, and uh, generally have a good time also. (That is if you brought your lunch) (Cut your beard, Jerry) Shut up. No shit. The unkindest cut of all. I didn't ask you about your beard
