Skaggs, Ricky - Don't Get Above Your Raising Lyrics






Now I got a gal that's sweet to me
She just ain't what she used to be
Just a little high headed
Thats plain to see.

Don't get above your raising
Stay down on earth with me
Now looky here gal don't you high hat me
I ain't forgot what you used to be.

When you didn't have nothing
That was plain to see
Don't get above your raising
Stay down on earth with me.

Now you need not hold your head so high
Every time you pass me by
For it don't mean nothing
To me you see.

Don't get above your raising
Stay sown on earth with me
Now looky here gal you better be yourself
And leave that other stuff on the shelf.

You're country baby
That's plain to see
Don't get above your raising
Stay down on earth with me.

Now I got a gal that's sweet to me
She just ain't what she used to be
Just a little high headed
Thats plain to see.

Don't get above your raising
Stay down on earth with me...

Skaggs, Ricky Don't Get Above Your Raising Comments
  1. m.... ....

    This band with Ray Flacke was incredible. Ricky's music seem to lose it's bite after Ray left. In my opinion, he's never approached the quality of those first 2 lps on Epic Records(Waitin' For The Sun To Shine & Highways and Heartaches).

  2. D.... ....

    Tight!!!!!!!

  3. B.... G....

    One of the best Songs from Ricky and his Band

  4. J.... B....

    great video its been altered from clear to great blurred mess get the record and real video from the source the artist www. rickyskaggs

  5. S.... S....

    A tribute song to the California raisins. 🍇

  6. s.... l....

    My dad blasted this one in our living room when I was 4. I'm blasting it today for my young son. He loves it.

  10. k.... ....

    I remember hearing this in the 80s and thinking he sang "Thunderations" instead of "Don't get above your raisin'."

  13. S.... B....

  14. J.... B....

    What is Ricky playing? It is not a regular telecaster.

  15. J.... F....

    Is this 5:52 version available anywhere for purchase anywhere? The version from the album "Waiting' For The Sun To Shone" is just 3:10, so most of the solos don't appear. Only long version is off a live album from London (7:10) & FAR more uptempo.

  16. J.... M....

    Can anyone tell me what instrument Ricky is playing in this video?

    J.... M....

    Jeff McMurray it’s a custom built mandocaster lol. Made to look like a miniature telecaster but tuned like a mandolin and also has a string bender in it like a pedal steel would have but activated by the strap button. It was made by Joe Glaser in Nashville.

    J.... M....

    Its a GLASER... Joe Glaser built in Nashville

    I recorded this on my VCR back in the early ‘80’s and it’s my favorite guitar pickin song of Mr. Skaggs. 🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻

    L.... S....

    That’s some great pickin also. I just like what he does on that little electric guitar.

    L.... S....

    It's actually a 5 string solid body electric mandolin with a pull string device. When he pushes the neck down it pulls one of those strings up in pitch, like a pedal steel guitar. Lotta twang.

    L.... S....

    guitbanger1 Thanks! I don’t know much about types of mandolins or guitars, I thought it was a baby Fender. I just like the sound and his playing it.
