Soul Mine

Soul Mine - Lee Dorsey

Lyrics by：Allen Toussaint

Composed by：Toussaint

I been working in the coal mine

Trying to find a gold mine

But you give me a soul mine

Filled with a love and understanding

Sweetness sweeter then candy I been

Trying to make the money

Forgettin' all about the honey

But you came as sweet as the summer

A shining a light on the matter

You said pick up the ladder

I was climbin' through the top on

But something kept putting the stop on

But you came and laid the mop on

Girl I must confess you sure cleaned up the mess

I think through you my heart could love and be loved

What you say what you say

And then we'll never have to baby you say

Come back again you're my lover

You're my friend

Ohh

You're my sunshine you're my rain

You're my one sweet moment again and again

You're my white wine my only friend

You're my shining star and I'm your number one fan

Ohh yeah

Well

I been writin' on my apartment

A diggin' on the sounds on the down lane

But you came and now I only

Girl I only wanna be

Good things that please you

Yeah I been sittin' here la la

I wait to perform and ya ya

But you dun came and ta ta

Ah I gotta thank you girl

You've shooken up the world to me

I think through you my heart could love and be loved

What you say what you say

You will never have to pay to stay

Come back again you're my lover

You're my friend

You're my sunshine you're my rain

You're my one sweet moment again and again

You're my white wine my only friend

You're my shining star and I'm your number one fan

Oh yeah

I been

I been

I been

Well I been

Where I've been
