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
Oh that w[G]oman she taught me to pr[D]ay
I saw hea[G]ven everyd[A]ay
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
Oh that b[G]oy he taught me to pr[D]ay
But for a[G]ll of his spit-shinin' w[A]ays
Lord he could
Riff 1
Ooooooooooooh
Riff 2
Riff 1
Ooooooooooooh

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
Oh that wo[G]man she taught me to pr[D]ay
But for al[G]l of her wandering' waaaa[A]aaaaaaaays
She could
Riff 1
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh
Riff 2
