Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lord, I swear the perfume you wear
Was made out of turnip greens
And everytime I kiss you, girl
It tastes like pork and beans
[Verse 2]
Even though, you're wearin' them
Citified high heels
I can tell by your giant step
You've been walkin' through the cotton fields
[Verse 3]
Oh, you're so down home girl
[Verse 4]
Everytime you monkey child
You take my breath away
And everytime you move like that
I got to get down and pray
[Verse 5]
Don't you know that dress of yours
Was made out of fiberglass
And everytime you move like that
I got to go to Sunday mass
[Verse 6]
Oh, you're so down home girl
[Verse 7]
Oh, you're so down home girl
[Verse 8]
I'm gonna take you to the muddy river
And push you in
Just to watch the water roll on
Down your velvet skin
[Verse 9]
I'm gonna take you back to New Orleans
Down in Dixieland
I'm gonna watch you do the second line
With an umbrella in your hand
[Verse 10]
Oh, you're so down home girl
[Verse 11]
I'm with ya, baby
You're so down home
Ow yeah, too much
Outta sight
You're so down home girl
