You're talking about your woman, I wish to God man that you could see mine
You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine
Every time the little girl start to lovin’, she’d bring eyesight to the blind
Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she walks
Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walks
Every time she start to lovin’, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
I remember one Friday morning we was lying down across the bed
Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and held up his head and said
Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole, state knows you fine
Every time she start to lovin’, she’d bring eyesight to the blind
HARMONICA SOLO
(Spoken: Alright alright now, lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it on me, oh Lordy, what a woman, what a woman)
Yes, I declare she’s pretty, and the whole state knows you fine
Man, I declare she’s pretty, God knows, I declare she's fine
Every time she starts to lovin’, whoo, she’d bring eyesight to the blind
HARMONICA OUTRO SOLO
(Spoken: We got to get out of here now, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go now)
