[Verse 1]
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]
Oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooo
[Verse 2]
I had me a boy
Who bu*toned 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-shinin' ways
Lord, he could
[Chorus]
Oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooo
[Verse 3]
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]
Oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooo
Oh she could
Oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooo
Oh we could
Oooooooooooooooo
Oooooooooooooooo
