《Sweet Rhode Island Red》歌词

[00:00:00] Sweet Rhode Island Red - Ike Quebec

[00:00:06] Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin

[00:00:12] I was fully matured by the time I reached the age of ten

[00:00:17] A mulatto girl is what they called me

[00:00:23] And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men

[00:00:29] All men say that I'm as sweet as honey

[00:00:34] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:00:40] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:47] Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:52] Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:58] Tried to live a life I thought I wanted me to

[00:01:03] I went to church been to school

[00:01:06] But there never had to be a White near you

[00:01:09] But on fast uptown I'd need the jobs

[00:01:15] They were just too hard headed to leave me alone

[00:01:21] They said that I was sweet as honey

[00:01:26] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:01:32] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:02:07] I was 17 when I moved to New Orleans

[00:02:13] 'Cos living in the city has always been my dream

[00:02:19] People laughed said it was a shame and a pity

[00:02:24] When old mayor Daley gave me the key to the city

[00:02:30] He too said that I was as sweet as honey

[00:02:35] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:02:41] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red
