Little girl you been on my mind

Little girl you been on my mind

 Be my special rider and lay down by my side

 Be my special rider and lay down by my side

Black haired girl you know I love you true

Black haired girl you know I love you true

 Well you shake my soul when you do those things that you do

 Well you shake my soul when you do those things you do

 She comes to me on a raven’s wing like lightening on the wind

 She kisses me with mystery she’s a lover she’s a friend

I’m the man who tends her fire I’m the man who shares her bed

I’m the man who brings her flowers and plants the seeds of dark desires

 that grow in her pretty little head

I’d follow you down to Natchez town

Follow you down to Natchez town

 For you I’d follow the devil down his hole in the ground

 For you I’d follow the devil down his hole in the ground

 She speaks to me so softly just like moss grows on a stone

 She tells me things I need to hear things that cut me to the bone

Like a queen she points at me and I politely bow my head

She says I’ve grown tired of life could you bring a new golden dawn instead

Soulful mama lay that backbeat down

Soulful mama lay that backbeat down

 C’mon saddle my pony I’ll take you right downtown

 C’mon saddle my pony c’mon and let’s go downtown
