I Had Me a Girl |
| I had me a girl |
| Who taught me those things |
| A young man should know |
| Down, down on my knees |
| I’d beg and I’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-shining 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 |
| Oh, she could |
| Oooooooo |
| Ooooooohhhhohhhh |
| Oh, we could |
| Ooooooo |
| Ooooohhhhhhhhhh |
