Galvanized Washing Tub 
Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens
Written by Cottonseed Clark and Chet Turner

G
Did you ever take your Saturday bath

And try to wash and scrub

While squatting down on your haunches
D7 G
In a galvanized washing tub


If not then you ain't missed a thing

But I'm tellin' you what's right

I done it till I was almost grown
D7 G
Every doggone Saturday night


In summertime it was bad enough

But in winter it got rough

A-spreading papers and filling kettles
D7 G
And all that sort of stuff


But gettin' ready for that ordeal

Was only half the rub

Of takin' a bath on Saturday night
D7 G
In a galvanized washing tub


Did you ever stand there stripped to the skin

I wood stove bakin' your hide

A-dreadin' to punch you darned foot
D7 G
In for fear you'd burn alive


Finally you got the temperature right

And into the tub you'd crawl

And when that cold steel touched your back
D7 G
You'd squeal like a fresh stuck hog


You get out of the tub and next to the stove

And stand there a-drippin' and a-shakin'

The front of your body is a-freezin' to death
D7 G
While the backside you're a-bakin'


A-shiverin' and a-shakin' and a-burnin'

And a bakin' that's the price I had to pay

That awful ordeal will haunt me
D7 G
Until I'm old and gray


I ain't thru yet thru somethin' else

But I've bein' a-wantin' to say

I was the youngest of all the kids
D7 G
That bathed every Saturday


There we all bathed according to age

And I fell last in order

Which meant I had to wash myself
D7 G
In the same dead-blamed old water


I'm a man of clean habits

And believe in a bath a week

It helps to keep me healthy
D7 G
And it freshens my physique


But if I had my druthers

I'd rather eat a bug

Than to take my Saturday bath again
D7 G
In a galvanized washing tub
