Leona - WetWillie

I was just outside of Clarksdale

On the way up to Tennessee

I had been driving all night

And nearly half the day

It was time to find something to eat

Well I looked high and low

For nearly half an hour

Before I finally come up on a place

Just a little old joint

With a hand painted sign

That read Leona's home cookin' cafe

Well it wasn't much to look at from the outside

But it sure looked like heaven to me

Well I parked my ride

And I moseyed inside

Leona showed me a place to sit

Then she cooked up a meal

And still sets me through

And every time I think about it

Well she brought out the plate

And set it on the table

Then she put her hand down on my knee

I said whoa Leona don't you wanna

Come and do some cookin' with me

I said won't you be my honey child

Won't you be my honey child

Your down home cookin' drives me wild

Well come on and stay with me a while

I'm tired of being lonely

I'll be your one and only

Won't you be my honey child

She fixed a good ol' golden brown southern fried chicken

That would make the colonel run and hide

I had collard greens and fresh snap beans

And sweet potatoes on the side

I had homemade biscuits just as big as your fist

A drippin' with sweet creamy butter

A mason's jar fulla cold ice tea

So good it make you run home to mother

Oh won't you be my honey child

Come on honey

Won't you be my honey child

You known your down home cookin' drives me wild

So come on and stay with me a while

If you're tired of being lonely

I'll be your one and only yeah

I said won't you be my honey child

Well won't you be my honey child

Your down home cookin' drives me wild

So come on and stay with me a while

I know you're tired of being lonely

So be my one and only

Won't you be my honey child
