Soul Sister Annie

From Louisiani

Workin' for the blues band show

For a single dollar

She's gonna make you holler

Fill the whole world up with soul

She's gonna let 'em roll

She's gonna let 'em roll

You got to shake your tambourine now

She gonna to start a scene now

Runnin', runnin' from coast to coast

She gonna play your heart out

You all gonna shout out

You ain't, you ain't

You ain't goin' home

She's gonna let 'em roll

She's gonna let 'em roll

You got to get down on your knees

And maybe pray for mercy please

And while you’re at it

Say a pray for Annie

She's only working for a penny

She's workin' to lift

Workin' to lift the soul

Why don't you shake your tambourine now

She gonna to start a scene now

Runnin', runnin' from coast to coast

She gonna play your heart out

You all gonna shout out

Well you ain't, you ain't

You ain't goin' home

She's gonna let 'em roll

She's gonna let 'em roll

You got to get down on your knees

And say a pray for mercy please

And say a pray for Annie

Annie and her family

Well they're working to ease

Workin' to ease the soul

You may recognize her family

They're working to lift

Working to lift the soul
