Mess Under That Dress (LYRICS)
Let me tell you about a lady I know
they got a rumor going round
she got something so doggone good
it’d make a fish walk on the ground
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
the ones that get it really are blessed
its a mess up under that dress
she went to see the preacher man
he said its a shame and its a sin
that you got something good enough
to hold a meetin’ in
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
you got to be the best
cause its a mess up under that dress
now she went to see a doctor
to put an appointment in
he said everybody wants what ya got
come on and give it to me again
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
I cant speak for the rest
but its a mess up under that dress
she went walking past the undertaker
he was sittin around holdin his head
said “don’t come in you’re bad for business”
youre gonna raise the dead
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
I cant stand to test
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
its a mess up under that dress
I cant stand to test
its a mess up under that dress
Hailed by Pitchfork as “one of pop’s great cult acts,” Swamp Dogg has spent the better part of the last 70 years pushing the boundaries of soul, funk, and R&B, rebelling against the confining racial and commercial politics of the music industry with more than two dozen critically acclaimed albums ranging from the radically subversive to the downright absurd.
With his remarkable new collection, Blackgrass: From West Virginia to 125th St., Swamp Dogg adds yet another chapter to his endlessly surprising career, celebrating the sounds he grew up on in 1940s Virginia while at the same time shining a spotlight on bluegrass music’s deep African American roots. Produced by Ryan Olson and recorded with an all-star band including Noam Pikelny, Sierra Hull, Jerry Douglas, Chris Scruggs, Billy Contreras, and Kenny Vaughan, the collection is a riotous blend of past and present, one that filers the sacred and profane through a progressive Appalachian lens that nods to tradition without ever being bound by it. Special guests like Margo Price, Vernon Reid, Jenny Lewis, Justin Vernon, and The Cactus Blossoms all add to the excitement, but it’s ultimately the 81-year-old Swamp Dogg’s delivery—sly and playful and full of genuine joy and ache—that steals the show. The result is a record that’s as reverent as it is raunchy, a work that challenges conventional notions of genre and race as it combines lust and heartbreak, pain and ecstasy, revolution and ridiculousness the way only Swamp Dogg can.
