Heatwave Rastus Ravel Is A Mean Old Man Lyrics

Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Mama had the time but she didn't have the money
Rastus was a man but he wouldn't take the honey

Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Papa owned a mine but he couldn't pay the bills now
Rastus kept his job 'cause he wouldn't take his pills now

Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Nothin' on his mind but a dollar sign peepin'
Tellin' what to do 'cause the family wants keepin'

Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Rastus Ravel is a mean old man

You take our money
Said you take our soul
Said we got no use for livin'
So you might as well be told
Get my shotgun
Gonna shoot you down
Get my shotgun yeah
Down on the ground yeah

I said you're so mean now yeah
Get out of my way

Mama had the time but she didn't have the money
Rastus was a man but he wouldn't take the honey

Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
Rastus Ravel is a mean old man
