Miss Loretta

Whoa, miss Loretta, where did you get all these good

looking women from?

Well, well, miss Loretta, Lord, will you please tell

me, baby, where did you get all these good looking

women from?

She said they come in here unexpected, you know they

was blowed in here by a storm

I said, "Sugar mama, sugar mama, now will you please

come back to me?

Sugar mama, sugar mama, won't you please, ma'am, come

back to me?

Yes, I say bring me my granulated sugar, oh Lord, and

ease my misery"

Yes, miss Loretta, here's something I got to tell you I

want you to do

Long as you live, I want you to keep these women 'round

here with you

I said miss, please ma'am, miss Loretta, keep these

womens here with you

'Cause I might be a sugar maker and I may make it just

as sweet as sugar can be

Yeah, you know I went to church last night; I didn't

get there on time

They called on me to pray and I had praying on my mind,

Thinking about miss Loretta and the women, yes, man,

they was on my mind

Yes, I thought about how nice miss Loretta was and how

the women treated me so nice and kind
