0:20I had me a girl
0:25Who taught me those things
0:27A young man should know
0:30Down down on my knees
0:33I'd beg and I'd plead
0:35To learn a little bit more
0:38Oh that woman taught me to pray
0:43I saw Heaven every day
0:47Lord she could
0:49Oooooooo

1:06I had me a boy
1:08Who buttoned me down
1:10Drew me a line
1:14He he washed me as clean
1:17As a sinner could be
1:19Showed me the light
1:22Oh that boy he taught me to pray
1:26But for all of his spit-shinin' ways
1:30Lord he could
1:32Oooooooo
1:33Ooooooohhhhohhhh
1:39Ooooooo
1:43Ooooooohhhhhhhhh
2:25I had me a girl
2:28Like cigarette smoke
2:30She came and she went
2:34I slipped through his hands
2:37To my back door man
2:40Under his chin
2:42Oh that woman taught me to pray
2:47But for all of her wandering ways
2:53She could
2:54Oooooooo
