Twistin And Groovin

	  		
E 
I got a call from my baby, said she fed up with me 
            A                                E 
Said she's found another lover in another city 
            B7       A             E 
Said she's doing fine in New Orleans 

E 
Now she got me pacing, huh, wondering where'd I go wrong 
        A                                   E 
Got me going in circles like the merry-go-round 
       B7                A                     E 
Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the morning 

E 
Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans 
The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee 
A                                                   E 
Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees 
           B7              A                                E   B7 
She got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room 

 
         E                       A 
She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' 
 
E                            A 
She don't know what she doin' to me, I 
E                                 A 
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question: 
F#                     B7 
Baby, would you be my queen? 
E 
All right now 

E 
Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget 
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floor 
A 
Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step 
E 
So good that baby had my eyes at her glow 
          B7                  A 
No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room 

 
             E                       A 
That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin' 
 
E                            A 
She don't know what she doin' to me, I 
E                                 A 
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:

Ooh, ooh, baby 
E

Ooh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room 

 
             E                       A

E                            A
