Song title: Cherokee Queen


Cherokee Queen

Ahh she's a Cherokee queen now
Yes the prettiest sight I have ever seen
She's an Oklahoma lady
And she drives me crazy
I don't know what it is about her
But I just can't live without her
She's got me in a trance sir
Yeah so hot she's a dancer
Locked away she silently comes
A mellow beat she sweetly hums
Shes got the words to all my songs
She sings to me all night long

She goes "Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Ahh she got all her elevation
And out of my arms
I put down legislation
With her redneck charms
???
Make me want to love her
She got a crazy way of smiling
Just drives the boys wild
Reminds me of one of my high school haunts
She knows what I mean, she knows what I want
She got the words to all my songs
She sings to me all night long

She goes "Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Ahh she's a Cherokee queen
Ohthe prettiest sight I have ever seen
She's an Oklahoma lady
And she drives me crazy
I don't know what it is about her
But I just can't live without her
Ahh she's got me in a trance sir
Yeah so hot she's a dancer
Locked away she silently comes
A mellow beat she sweetly hums
Shes got the words to all my songs
And she sings to me all night long

"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"

"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"

Notes: Often referred to as "Daddy sing me a cradle song". The organ solo three quarters in the track is very similar to the guitar solo that would later resurface on You mean so much to me
