==Music and lyrics==
"Rag Mama Rag" is credited solely to Robbie Robertson. However, Levon Helm claimed years later that the song was a group effort.〔Levon Helm and Stephen Davis. ''This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band''〕 The song has an improvised feel. The Band initially attempted to record the song in a straightforward manner, but it didn't sound right to Robertson. So drummer Levon Helm moved to play mandolin, pianist Richard Manuel played drums, bassist Rick Danko played fiddle and producer John Simon played tuba, while organist Garth Hudson played upright acoustic piano in a ragtime fashion.〔 Helm sings the lead vocals.〔〔 Although a fan favorite, originally the band didn't think that highly of the song, recording it almost as an afterthought.〔 Robertson claims that "It didn't have very much importance until we recorded it, but it showed something else we could do, in a style that didn't exist."〔 In ''The New Rolling Stone Album Guide'', Matt Kemp described "Rag Mama Rag" as a "rural dance tune."
According to ''Goldmine'' critic Rob Bowman, the lyrics are "about a rather curious mind-twisting woman." AllMusic critic Thomas Ward views the lyrics as "almost nonsensical."〔 The Band biographer Barney Hoskyns describes the lyrics as "lusty tomcat lyrics," noting that the lyrics and the instrumentation, particularly the ragtime piano, make song seem like "Storyville 'brothel music.'"〔
