Sweet Rhode Island Red lyrics

Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin I was fully matured by the time I reached the age of 10 Old mulatto gal is what they called me And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men All men say that I'm as sweet as honey Cause I'm 34, 38 and 22 at the tonky chorus They call me sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet t is what they say About sweet Rhode Island Red tried to live the life that I thought I wanted me to-wooooo They call me sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet t is what they say About sweet Rhode Island Red Well I was 17 when I moved to New Orleans Living in the city has always been my dream People there, said it was a shame and a pity When old mayor Daley gave me the keys to the city He too, said that I was as sweet as honey Cause I'm 34, 38 and 22 at the tonky They call me sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet t is what they say About sweet Rhode Island Red
