Verse:

Dee-ten dat-ten doo-ten, If you hear somebody toot-in' it.

Dee-teen dat-ten doo-ten, That's a musical jag.
When they play they've got a way of puttin' lots o' cute in it,

Dee-ten dat-ten doo-ten, It's the Down Home Rag.

 

Chorus:

Down Home, They've got rhythm an' how,

Down Home, While they're pushin' the plow,

Down Home, They're all doo-ten it now.

Oh! They're Dee-ten dat-ten doo-ten to the Down Home Rag.
