|
She was wild, as a raging river |
|
She was free as an earth blown wind |
|
Rock and roll queen, rock and roll queen |
|
Wow, wow, rock, rock, rock, rock |
|
Her Daddy was a stud-dealing gentleman, known as the Golden Hand |
|
Mama was a good-timing lady, ran off with a travelling man |
|
At fourteen she became a woman, Lord, Lord, Lord, how it made her weep |
|
And the only family she ever knew was the people out on the street, that's right |
|
They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
She gets high with a rock and roll band |
|
Wow she can sing with the guitar strumming |
|
People, I swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band |
|
Hey now, now, now |
|
She made it for a while |
|
As a flower child |
|
On the streets of the old San Fran |
|
Then she made her pitch just a-singing the blues with a hard rocking acid band |
|
Her name up in lights, |
|
From the gutter to the heights |
|
Lord, it must have been a dream |
|
And the people came from miles and miles around |
|
Just to watch that rock and roll queen |
|
You know what they said - they said |
|
They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
She gets high with a rock and roll band |
|
She can sing with the guitar strumming |
|
I swear you're gonna believe |
|
Swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band |
|
Can't you hear the beat of the music |
|
Lord don't it sound like thunder |
|
Jimmy's got his guitar |
|
Louie's playing that trumpet |
|
Otis Redding sings a sad, sad song |
|
Now, now, now, now, now, now |
|
I can hear the lady singing now |
|
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
She gets high with a rock and roll band |
|
She can sing with the guitar strumming |
|
I swear you're gonna believe |
|
People, yes you're going to believe |
|
I know that you're going to believe ... |
|
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman |
|
She gets high ....... |
