the civil wars – i had me a girl (acoustic) 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 b-ttoned 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
