Sweet Lady Love

Sweet Lady Love - Mason Proffit

I was born on the river

21 years ago

Now I'll tell you my story

Something there that you'd like to know

Sweet lady love love me down

Sweet lady love love me down

Got me a job on a river barge

Learned the ropes up and down the line

Working

Picked up a girl in Natchez

Took her home and I made her mine

Sweet lady love love me down

Sweet lady love love me down

Little log cabin down home

And I'm taking her to it

We can make it alone

And I know we can do it

Then I got into some trouble

Hit a man and I watched him die

Now me and my woman are running

It won't be long and she'll learn to fly

Sweet lady love love me down

Sweet lady love love me down
