I Had Me a Girl
[Verse 1: John Paul White]
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: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 2: Joy Williams]
I had me a boy
Who buttoned 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-shining ways
Lord, he could
[Chorus: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

[Verse 3: John Paul White, Joy Williams & Both]
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: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
Oh, she could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Oh, we could
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
