E MajorE
I got a call from my baby, said she fed up with me
A augmentedA E MajorE
Said she's found another lover in another city
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE
Said she's doing fine in New Orleans
E MajorE
Now she got me pacing, huh, wondering where'd I go wrong
A augmentedA E MajorE
Got me going in circles like the merry-go-round
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE
Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the morning
E MajorE
Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans
The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee
A augmentedA E MajorE
Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
She got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room
E MajorE A augmentedA
She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
E MajorE A augmentedA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
E MajorE A augmentedA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#F# B7B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E MajorE
All right now
E MajorE
Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floor
A augmentedA
Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step
E MajorE
So good that baby had my eyes at her glow
B7B7 A augmentedA
No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room
E MajorE A augmentedA
That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
E MajorE A augmentedA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
E MajorE A augmentedA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#F# B7B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E MajorE
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
A augmentedA
Ooh, ooh, baby
E MajorE
Ohh, ooh, baby
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE
Ooh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room
E MajorE A augmentedA
That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
E MajorE A augmentedA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
E MajorE A augmentedA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#F# B7B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E MajorE
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
A augmentedA
Ooh, ooh, baby
E MajorE
Ohh, ooh, baby
B7B7 A augmentedA E MajorE
