SWEET LITTLE MAMA

WV1758/2012

Ink and gouache on Steinbach paper

 

"You're a cool little one

My dark southern breeze

Sweeps through my fingers

And it amazes me

 

Dixie shadowland

Your envy shelters me

Lay down your burden

Mystery of ebony

 

And it amazes me

Oh it amazes me

Maybe the heat babe could be this tune

It amazes me

It amazes me

What drives me crazy is that big fat yellow moon

 

Look up that pale light

Well she's waking the trees

I'm drifting in your hoodoo

And it amazes me

 

That magnolia state

Got a hold on me

I got no blues to preach

Just Mississippi company

 

Ain't no magic potion

No gri-gri on her side

She's bound to my salvation

Sweet little mama

Take me down by the river tonight

And it amazes me..."

 

AMAZES ME - Music & lyrics Elton John & Bernie Taupin, 1989.
