I Had Me A Girl Lyrics - The Civil Wars - The Civil Wars

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 

Oooooooo 

Ooooooohhhhohhhh 

Ooooooo 

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh 

I, I had me a boy 

Who buttoned me down 

Threw me a line 

He, he washed me as clean 

As a sinner could be 

Showed me the light 

Ooo that boy, he taught me to pray 

But for all of his spit-shinin' ways 

Lord, he could 

Oooooooo 

Ooooooohhhhohhhh 

Ooooooo 

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh 

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 

Oooooooo 

Ooooooohhhhohhhh 

Ooooooo 

Ooooohhhhhhhhhh [Repeat]
