I had me a girl
Who taught me those things
A young man should know
Down, down on my knees
Id beg and Id plead
To learn a little bit moreOh that woman taught me to pray
I saw Heaven every day
Lord, she couldOooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
OoooohhhhhhhhhhI had me a boy
Who buttoned me down
Drew me a line
He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could be
Showed me the lightOh that boy, he taught me to pray
But for all of his spit-shinin ways
Lord, he couldOooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
OoooohhhhhhhhhhI had me a girl
Like cigarette smoke
She came and she went
I slipped through his hands
To my back door man
Under his chinOh that woman taught me to pray
But for all her wandering ways
She couldOooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
