| I remember Christmas morning back in 1954
|
| When we moved her to Mount Savage as if it mattered anymore
|
| Mama always said
|
| How the air can clear her head
|
| We were colder and much higher than we ever were before
|
| I recall her tailored jersey and the flowers that she wore
|
| Years ago I tried to tell her
|
| What was in my heart
|
| But she was part of the city
|
| (She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man
|
| (She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
|
| (She took the money from my old man)
|
| All the years that she was with us you could count them on one hand
|
| I was taken with her showboat style, but too young to understand
|
| She was all alone
|
| Ahead of her time
|
| She was first generation
|
| (She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man
|
| (She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
|
| (She took the money from my old man)
|
| (Took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar) She took the money from my old man
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh, She took the money from my old man
|
| (She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh yes she did
|
| (She took the money from my old man) I said
|
| (She took a little with sugar) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh, she took the money from my old man
|
| (She took a little with sugar) Ohhhh yes she did
|
| (She took a little with sugar) She took the money from my old man
|
| (She took the money from my old man) The money from my old man
|
| (She took the money from my old man) Ohhhh yes she did
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took the money from my old man) Ohhhhhhhh
|
| (She took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar)
|
| (She took a little with sugar) Money from my old man
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took a little with sugar
|
| (She took the money from my old man) She took the money from my old man |
