Lisa Sawyer - Live at SXSW 2015
Ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She was born in New Orleans
New Orleans, Louisiana (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba, ba-ba)
Branded with the name Lisa Sawyer (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Circa 1963 (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Grandmother was Indian, Indian (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Her mother's name was Eartha, swift as the wind (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Fierce as fire (ba-ba)
Her father's name was Victor (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Worked two jobs to provide for his flock (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
She was the youngest of seven, seven (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
She grew up on Louisa Street (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Chaos around, but inside cozy (ba-ba)
Small, but a mansion in her eyes (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Eyes, eyes, mansion
Never had much money, money (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
But was filthy rich (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
With the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino (ba-ba)
Or a lottery ticket
They had love, love, love (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Rich in love
Won't you play that for me one time?
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
Ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba
She had the complexion of (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
The complexion of a sweet praline (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Hair long as the sea, heart warm like the Louisiana sun (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
Voice like a symphony
Of the most beautiful instruments, woah
Beautiful
At the age of sixteen, sixteen (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
She found Christ at an altar (ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
All along He was calling her name (ba-ba, ba-ba-doo, ba-ba)
The Gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man
Man, man
Gospel
She was born in New Orleans
She was born in New Orleans
She was born in New Orleans
New Orleans
'Preciate y'all for rocking with us tonight, uh, today
This a little old tune of mine called "River"
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
