Lyrics
I got a call from my baby
Said she fed up with me
Said she's found another lover in another city
Said she's doin' fine in New Orleans
Now she got me pacin' (Huh)
Wonderin' where'd I go wrong
Got me goin' in circles like the Merry-go-Round
Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the mornin'
Sweet little girl from the Ninth Ward o' New Orleans
The way she dancin', you could see her from Tennessee
Up under that red dress
Are legs long as the bayou trees
She 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?"
(Alright now)
Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze tiled floor
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
That girl is 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?"
Whoo, whoo, baby
Whoo, whoo, baby
Whoo, whoo, baby
Ooh, that baby got a golden smile
I know she's the one for me in that room
That girl is 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?"
Whoo, whoo, baby
Whoo, whoo, baby
Whoo, whoo, baby
Mmm, that baby got a golden smile
I know she's the one for me in that room
