Lisa Sawyer Lyrics

Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh ohhoo
She's born in New Orleans

New Orleans

Louisiana


Branded with a name- Lisa Sawyer
Circa 1963
Grandmother was indian
Her mother's name
Eartha, swift as the wind
Fierce as fire
Father's name was Victor
Worked two jobs to provide for his flock
She was the youngest of seven
Seven
Grew up on Luisa street
Chaos around
put aside cozy
small but a mansion in her eyes
Eyes
eyes
Mansion
Never had much money money
but was filthy rich
The wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino or a lottery ticket
They had love, love, love
Rich in love
She
ooh oh ooh oh ooh
mhmm
she had the complexion of
the complexion of a sweet praline
hair long as the sea
heart warm like the Louisiana sun
voice like a symphony of the most beautiful instruments woah
Beautiful
at the age of sixteen sixteen she found christ at an alter all along he was calling her name
the gas was smoking from an old wrinkled mane mane mane
Gas Woah
She was born in New Orleans
She was born in New Orleans
She was born in New Orleans
New Orleans
