John Waite - Sweet Rhode Island Red
Intro
Verse
Born In Louisiana In A Town Called Franklin
And She Was Fully Matured By The Time She Reached The Age Of 10
Mulatto Girl, That's What They Called Her
And Mulattos Never Had No Trouble At All With Men
And They Don't Say She Was As Sweet As Honey
'Cause She's 34, 38 And 22 At The Tummy
Chorus
They Call Her Sweet Rhode Island Red
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet, Cheap, That's What They Said
About Sweet Rhode Island Red
Verse 2
So She Tried To Live The Life They Said They Wanted Her To
She Went To Church, Went To School, Never Be The White Man's Fool
And Pastor Sam, And Nathan Jones
They Were Just Too Hot Headed To Leave Her Alone
And They Don't Say She Was As Sweet As Honey
'Cause She's 34, 38 And 22 At The Tummy
Chorus 2
They Call Her Sweet Rhode Island Red
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet, Cheap, That's What They Said

Verse 3
Well She Was 17 When She Moved Down To New Orleans
Cause Living In The City Had Always Been Her Dream
And People There Said It Was A Shame And A Pity
When Old Man Daley Gave Her The Keys To The City
And They Don't Say She Was As Sweet As Honey
'Cause She's 34, 38 And 22 At The Tummy

Sweet, Cheap, That's What They Said
About Sweet Rhode Island Red, Yeah
