Shake Your Money Maker by Elmore JamesA summer or two back, I saw a great video of Keni Lee Burgess doing this song while busking. Loved it. Keni did not do it quite like Elmore - and I don’t (can’t) do it like either Elmore or Keni.But did Elmore or Keni have a good looking washboard player? Hmm? I don’t think so.Here in Key of G with I a G, IV a C and V a D.[I] I know a gal who lives up on the hill.[IV] I know a gal she lives up on the [I] hill.[V]She won’t dance, but some [V] times her sister [I]will.Chorus:[I] Shake your money maker. Shake your money maker.[IV] Shake your money maker and [I] dance.[V] Shake your money [IV]maker and [I]dance.I love you baby and I’ll tell you the reason why.I love you baby and I’ll tell you the reason why.Every time I see you, I wanna break down and cry.I know a gal - she can’t be true.I know a gal - she can’t be true.One day she digs me and one day she digs you.

You know, Rug Doctor ain't a bad blues song title. Hmmm:
Rug Doctor Blues
When my baby say it's washday, I don't give her a hug
When my baby say it's washday, I won't give her no hug
We jist lays down on de flo', an' den I wash her rug.
Yeah I'm a Rug Doctor, honey
I kin wash away yer blues
An' when yo' rug is combed out
I kin clean yo' carpet, too.
Now if yo' pile is nappy, and tangled up in knots
Yeah, if yo' pile is nappy, all tangled up in knots
Well, I kin make you happy wif de good Rug Doctor's shots.
Cuz I'm a Rug Doctor, darlin',
I ain't here to cure de flu
But if yo' floorin's funky
I can clean yo' carpet, too.
Now some gals walks roun' barefoot, an' others like high heels
Yes, some gals walkin' barefoot, an' others wear high heels
But when I makes a house call, all their rugs come out and squeals (female chorus)
Yeah, he's a Rug Doctor, chillun',
He'll treat yo' rug so fine
He'll mend yo' frayin' tapestry
Look what he done to mine!

When one of us is in the dawg house, we all is. ;-)
Sorry to hijack the thread, but Bear caught me in a weak moment.
I think I'm gonna submit that one for Dan's album this weekend, along with another one I'd forgotten about.
Dem is some fine lyrics, Ron!

Tell your wife she's an inspiration. >:-E
UJ,
I still haven't told my wife that I used her high-tech washtub as a percussion device for my last single.
She does own her own hammer, after all.
Woody, get that woman a new washtub and washboard!
Thanks, Nigel and Smoot.
Ritz, I want to get an adapter to play my IPOD shuffle through my cigar box amp and Wes Carl amp.
Hi John. This is my ipod amp and my laptop amp. I use my sit down amp for backing tracks with the
ipod and plug my guitar in one of my little CBA, my voice is loud enough it needs no amp. I'm gonna build a
sit down amp with two amps and two speaker, like a sit down p.a. system. Then hit the coffee house curcuit.
Me likey :))))
Great job!
