Lyrics Sweet Lady Love - Mason Proffit

Sweet Lady Love

I was born on the river
21 years ago
Now I’ll tell you my story
Something there that you’d like to know
Sweet lady love, love me down
Sweet lady love, love me down
Got me a job on a river barge
Learned the ropes up and down the line
Workin
Picked up a girl in natchez
Took her home and I made her mine
Sweet lady love, love me down
Sweet lady love, love me down
Little log cabin down home
And I’m takin her to it We can make it alone
And I know we can do it Then I got into some trouble
Hit a man and I watched him die
Now me and my woman are runnin
It won’t be long and she’ll learn to fly
Sweet lady love, love me down
Sweet lady love, love me down
