Lyrics 

Intro 
Riff 1 
Riff 2 
Riff 1 

Riff 1 
I had me a girl 
who taught me those things 
a young man should know 
Riff 2 

Riff 1 
Down, down on my knees 
I'd be and I'd plead 
to learn a little bit more 

         G                       D 
Oh that woman she taught me to pray 
         G         A 
I saw heaven everyday 
Lord, she could 
Riff 1 
Ooooooooooh 
Riff 2 
Riff 1 
Ooooooooooh 

Riff 1 
I had me a boy 
Who buttoned me down 
and drew me a line 
Riff 2 

Riff 1 
He, he washed me as clean 
as a sinner could be 
showed me the light 

         G                    D 
Oh that boy he taught me to pray 
         G                       A 
But for all of his spit-shinin' ways 
Lord he could 
Riff 1 
Ooooooooooooh 
Riff 2 
Riff 1 
Ooooooooooooh 

Bridge 
F E D D D D repeat 

Riff 3 
I had me a girl 
like cigarette smoke 
she came and she went 
Riff 2 

Riff 3 
I slipped through his hands 
to my back door man 
under his chin 

          G                      D 
Oh that woman she taught me to pray 
          G                        A 
But for all of her wandering' waaaaaaaaaaaays 
She could 
Riff 1 
Oooooooooooooooooooooooh 
Riff 2 
Play until you feel like stopping.
