I got a call from my baby, said she fed up with me
AE
Said she's found another lover in another city
B7AE
Said she's doing fine in New Orleans
E
Now she got me pacing, huh, wondering where'd I go wrong
AE
Got me going in circles like the merry-go-round
B7AE
Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the morning
E
Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans
The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee
AE
Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees
B7AEB7
She got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room
EA
She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
EA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
EA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E
All right now
E
Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floor
A
Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step
E
So good that baby had my eyes at her glow
B7A
No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room
EA
That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
EA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
EA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
A
Ooh, ooh, baby
E
Ohh, ooh, baby
B7AE
Ooh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room
EA
That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
EA
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
EA
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
F#B7
Baby, would you be my queen?
E
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
A
Ooh, ooh, baby
E
Ohh, ooh, baby
B7AE
Ooh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room
