I had me a girl
|
Who taught me those things
|
A young man should know
|
Down, down on my knees
|
IĄ¯d beg and IĄ¯d plead
|
To learn a little bit more
|
Oh that woman taught me to pray
|
I saw Heaven every day
|
Lord, she could
|
Oooooooo
|
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
|
Ooooooo
|
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
|
I had me a boy
|
Who buttoned me down
|
Drew me a line
|
He, he washed me as clean
|
As a sinner could be
|
Showed me the light
|
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
|
But for all of his spit-shininĄ¯ ways
|
Lord, he could
|
Oooooooo
|
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
|
Ooooooo
|
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
|
I had me a girl
|
Like cigarette smoke
|
She came and she went
|
I slipped through his hands
|
To my back door man
|
Under his chin
|
Oh that woman taught me to pray
|
But for all her wandering ways
|
She could
|
Oooooooo
|
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
|
Ooooooo
|
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
|
