I Had Me A Girl lyrics

[Verse 1: John Paul White]

I had me a girl

Who taught me those things

A young man should know

Down, down on my knees

I’d beg and I’d plead

To learn a little bit more

Oh, that woman taught me to pray

I saw Heaven every day

Lord, she could

[Chorus: John Paul White & Joy Williams]

Oooooooo

Ooooooohhhhohhhh

Ooooooo

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 2: Joy Williams]

I 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 light

Oh, that boy, he taught me to pray

But for all of his spit-shining ways

Lord, he could

[Chorus: John Paul White & Joy Williams]

Oooooooo

Ooooooohhhhohhhh

Ooooooo

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 3: John Paul White, Joy Williams & Both]

I had me a girl

Like cigarette smoke

She came and she went

I slipped through his hands

To my back door man

Under his chin

Oh, that woman taught me to pray

But for all her wandering ways

She could

[Chorus: John Paul White & Joy Williams]

Oooooooo

Ooooooohhhhohhhh

Ooooooo

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

Oh, she could

Oooooooo

Ooooooohhhhohhhh

Oh, we could

Ooooooo

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
