Twistin' & Groovin' - Live at SXSW 2015

I got a call from my baby, said she's fed up with me
Said she's found another lover in another city
Said she's doing fine in New Orleans

Now she got me pacing, wondering where'd I go wrong
Got me going in them circles, like the merry-go-round
I'm gonna take the west train down to Louisiana in the morning

Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans
The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee
Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees
Oh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room

She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question
Baby, would you be my queen?

Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby

Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floors
Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step
So good, that baby had my eyes at her glow
No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room

She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question
Baby, would you be my queen?

Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, that sugar got a golden smile
I know she's the one for me in the room

Let me tell you one more time
She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got one question
Baby, would you be my queen?

Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Oh, that baby got a golden smile
I know she's the one for me in that–

Thank you, thank you, thank you
We're having a good time?
Cool
Wrote this little next tune about my mother
Her name's Lisa Sawyer
She said if I don't start calling her she gon' come
Beat me across the head
