  • I got a call from my baby, said she fed up with me
    Said she's found another lover, in another city
    Said she's doing fine in New Orleans

    Now she got me pacing, huh, wondering where'd I go wrong
    Got me going in circles like the merry-go-round
    Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the morning

    Sweet little girl from the ninth ward in New Orleans
    The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee
    Up under that red dress, are legs long as the bayou trees
    She got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room

    She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
    She don't know what she doin' to me, I
    Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question
    Baby, would you be my queen
    All right now

    Her name was Eartha, was her name I could never forget
    Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floor
    Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step
    So good that baby had my eyes at her glow
    No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room

    That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
    She don't know what she doin' to me, I
    Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question
    Baby, would you be my queen

    Oh, oh, baby
    Oh, oh, baby
    Oh, oh, baby
    Oh that baby got a golden smile
    I know she's the one for me in that room

    That girl is a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
    She don't know what she doin' to me, I
    Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question
    Baby, would you be my queen

    Oh, oh, baby
    Oh, oh, baby
    Oh, oh, baby
    Mm, that baby got a golden smile
    I know she's the one for me in that room Writer/s: AUSTIN JENKINS, CHRIS VIVION, JOSHUA BLOCK, TODD MICHAEL BRIDGES
