《Sweet Rhode Island Red》歌词

[00:00:00] Sweet Rhode Island Red - Ike & Tina Turner

[00:00:01] Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin

[00:00:09] I was fully matured by the time I reached the age ten

[00:00:14] A mulatto girl is what they called me

[00:00:20] And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men

[00:00:26] All men say that I'm as sweet as honey

[00:00:32] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:00:39] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:42] Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:45] Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:50] Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:00:56] Tried to live a life I thought I wanted me to

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

[00:01:05] But there never had to be a White near you

[00:01:08] But on fast uptown I'd need the jobs

[00:01:12] They were just too hard headed to leave me alone

[00:01:18] They said that I was sweet as honey

[00:01:24] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:01:31] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:01:37] Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:01:43] Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:01:48] I was 17 when I moved to New Orleans

[00:02:09] 'Cos living in the city has always been my dream

[00:02:15] People laughed said it was a shame and a pity

[00:02:21] When old mayor Daley gave me the key to the city

[00:02:27] He too said that I was as sweet as honey

[00:02:33] Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky

[00:02:40] They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:02:46] Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red

[00:02:52] Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red
