Song lyrics
New Orleans, Louisiana,
Branded with the name Lisa Sawyer,
Circa 1963.
Grandmother was Indian,
Indian,
Her mother's name was Eartha,
Swift as the wind,
Fierce as fire,
Her father's name was Victor,
Worked two jobs to provide for his flock.
She was the youngest of seven,
Seven,
She grew up on Louisa Street,
Chaos around but inside cozy,
Small but a mansion in her eyes,
Eyes, eyes, mansion.
Never had much money,
Money,
But was filthy rich
With the wealth you couldn't get from a dark casino
Or a lottery ticket –
They had love,
Love, love,
Rich in love.
She had the complexion of,
The complexion of a sweet praline,
Hair long as the sea,
Heart warm like Louisiana sun,
Voice like a symphony
Of the most beautiful instruments,
Beautiful.
At the age of sixteen,
Sixteen,
She found Christ at an altar,
All along He was calling her name,
The gospel spoken from an old wrinkly man,
Man, man,
Gospel.
She was born in New Orleans,
She was born in New Orleans,
She was born in New Orleans,
New Orleans.
