Doin' That Rag Lyrics

Lyric discussion by scottjefferies 

Cover art for Doin' That Rag lyrics by Grateful Dead

perhaps the rag is soaked in diethyl ether, which was much more popular back in the day. wadin in the water and never gettin wet may be about how ether evaporates quickly so even with a soaked rag in your face, you wont get wet. i love the hipsters and chicksters part, i wish i could say it all the time.
