Mama got the rub board, sister got the tub They're going round doing the rub-de-rub Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day To keep on rubbin' that thing Two old maids, they was layin' in a bed One turned over and this is what she said Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day To keep on rubbin' that thing Yeah mama killed a chicken Thought it was a duck Put him on the table with His feet sticking up (Alternative: with his feet turned up) Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day To keep on rubbin' that thing There was two old maids, layin' in the sand Each one wonderin' if the other was a man (Alternative: Each one wishing that the Other was a man) Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day To keep on rubbin' at that thing Notes: This was played by the Dead a Dozen times in 1970 and 1971 And before that in 1964 by Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions before the Dead Proper were formedIt seems clear that the Dead knew this song as "The Rub" in July 1964, for example Weir introduces it by saying that Mr Pigpen McKernan is going to sing a Lightnin' Hopkins song - The Rub But Lightnin' Hopkins recordings Have it under the title "Ain't It Crazy" "Mighty Crazy" or "The Crazy Song"
