Lyrics

Intro
Riff 1
Riff 2
Riff 1

Riff 1
I had me a girl
who taught me those things
a young man should know
Riff 2

Riff 1
Down, down on my knees
I'd be and I'd plead
to learn a little bit more

     G            D
Oh that woman she taught me to pray
     G     A
I saw heaven everyday
Lord, she could
Riff 1
Ooooooooooh
Riff 2
Riff 1
Ooooooooooh

Riff 1
I had me a boy
Who buttoned me down
and drew me a line
Riff 2

Riff 1
He, he washed me as clean
as a sinner could be
showed me the light

     G          D
Oh that boy he taught me to pray
     G            A
But for all of his spit-shinin' ways
Lord he could
Riff 1
Ooooooooooooh
Riff 2
Riff 1
Ooooooooooooh

Bridge
F E D D D D repeat

Riff 3
I had me a girl
like cigarette smoke
she came and she went
Riff 2

Riff 3
I slipped through his hands
to my back door man
under his chin

     G           D
Oh that woman she taught me to pray
     G            A
But for all of her wandering' waaaaaaaaaaaays
She could
Riff 1
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh
Riff 2
