Lyrics
I got a call from my baby, said she's fed up with me Said she's found another lover in another city Said she's doing fine in New Orleans Now she got me pacing, wondering where'd I go wrong Got me going in them circles, like the merry-go-round I'm gonna take the west train down to Louisiana in the morning ♪ Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees Oh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question Baby, would you be my queen? Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby ♪ Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floors Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step So good, that baby had my eyes at her glow No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question Baby, would you be my queen? Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, that sugar got a golden smile I know she's the one for me in the room Let me tell you one more time She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question Baby, would you be my queen? Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Oh, that baby got a golden smile I know she's the one for me in that– ♪ Thank you, thank you, thank you We're having a good time? Cool Wrote this little next tune about my mother Her name's Lisa Sawyer She said if I don't start calling her she gon' come Beat me across the head I got a call from my baby, said she's fed up with me Said she's found another lover in another city Said she's doing fine in New Orleans Now she got me pacing, wondering where'd I go wrong Got me going in them circles, like the merry-go-round I'm gonna take the west train down to Louisiana in the morning ♪ Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees Oh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question Baby, would you be my queen? Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby ♪ Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floors Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step So good, that baby had my eyes at her glow No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question Baby, would you be my queen? Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, ooh, baby Ooh, that sugar got a golden smile I know she's the one for me in the room Let me tell you one more time She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' She don't know what she doin' to me, I Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question Baby, would you be my queen?
