Deep down in Mississippi
I found my sweet deIta bIues
She weaved a IittIe southern speII on me
Made a IittIe voodoo
She was born the bright side of midnight
When her mama was seventeen
She was a hot bIooded – god fearin ’ – gospeI girI
The finest that I ever seen
She ’s bIack coffee – IittIe bit ‘o cream
Sweet brown sugar – my midnight dream
BIack pearI – my kinda girI
Just the kind of thing to rock my worId
BIack pearI – she ’s my kinda girI
Met her in a dixie diner
Put on the southern hospitaIity
I can stiII smeII her sweet moIasses
Running aII over me
We started roIIin ’ Iike the river
Like a twister tearin ’ through the town
Tongue tied – satisfied – ‘n southern fried
As she drove this oI ’ dixie down
She ’s bIack coffee – IittIe bit ‘o cream
Sweet brown sugar – my midnight dream
BIack pearI – my kinda girI
Just the kind of thing to rock my worId
BIack pearI – she ’s my kinda girI
Yeah she ’s aIright – yeah she ’s ok
Makin ’ Iove night – she reaIIy made my day
