Ladies, so sing for me.

What I need right now is a simple melody.

Cause when I'm lost.

And I'm all alone.

You sang for me, sang for me, my lady soul.

Down in Pomona City by the New Bethel Baptist Church.

Oh, Reverend Cleveland's little girl.

She'd sing up on her perch And she could take everybody

higher and higher oh sugar make sweet heaven from hell fire ladies so

Sing for me What I need right now Is a simple melody Cause when I'm lost

And I'm all alone

Just sing for me, my lady soul.

Down by the border On the other side of the track

When that little boy heard her sing the blues Ain't no way he was turning back

Cause she could take a chain of boots higher and higher.

Oh, she could bring sweet heaven to hellfire, lady soul.

What I need right now Is a simple melody Cause when I'm lost

And I'm all alone

Just sing for me, my lady soul.

Cause when I'm lost, Lord, and I'm feeling, feeling all alone, you save me, my lady soul.
