Leon Bridges - Lisa Sawyer Lyrics
Ooh oh, Oooohoo oh, Oohoo ooh, OohoohoShe was born in New OrleansNew Orleans, LouisianaBranded with the name Lisa SawyerCirca 1963Grandmother was IndianIndianHer mother's name was EarthaSwift as the windFierce as fireHer father's name was VictorWorked two jobs to provide for his flockShe was the youngest of sevenSevenShe grew up on Louisa StreetChaos around but inside cozySmall but a mansion in her eyesEyes, eyes, mansionNever had much moneyMoneyBut was filthy richWith the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casinoOr a lottery ticketThey had loveLove, loveRich in loveShe had the complexion ofThe complexion of a sweet pralineHair long as the seaHeart warm like Louisiana sunVoice like a symphonyOf the most beautiful instruments, OohBeautifulAt the age of sixteenSixteenShe found Christ at an altarAll along he was calling her nameThe gospel spoken from an old wrinkly manMan, manGospelShe was born in New OrleansShe was born in New OrleansShe was born in New OrleansNew Orleans
