Verse: chords: A D A

I got this good looking woman back home,
Let me tell ya,
She cooks good and she looks good,
And she just can't do no wrong.
She cooks my combread in the morning,
She's my dinner and my midnight snack,
She sits up and she begs,
And she even rolls over on her back.

Bridge:

Em C
Please don't tell me that's the way that it goes
Bb A
Cause I tried hard and I know
Em C
I ain't been playin' in your back yard,
Bb A
Cause I got my baby and she loves me so.

intro riff again

Verse:
She don't treat me mean and she
loves my machine, yeah.
I dig her cause she's funky and she
sure keeps it clean, yeah.
I'm a loafer she's my chauffeur
and she sure likes to drive me, ah ha.
I lay my life on the line and she steps
up right beside me, yeah.

Bridge

leads

A D A A E A (?) over following:

I don't have to sing the blues no more
A girl like mine is hard to find for sure
She lays it on me each and every night
She's my pleasure and world's delight
