p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
I was fully matured by the time I reached the age of ten
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
A mulatto girl is what they called me
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
All men say that I'm as sweet as honey
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky
p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Tried to live a life I thought I wanted me to
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
I went to church, been to school
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
But there never had to be a White near you
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
But on fast uptown I'd need the jobs
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
They were just too hard headed to leave me alone
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
They said that I was sweet as honey
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky
p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
I was 17 when I moved to New Orleans
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
'Cos living in the city has always been my dream
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
People laughed, said it was a shame and a pity
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
When old mayor Daley gave me the key to the city
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
He too said that I was as sweet as honey
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Cause on 34 38 and 22 at the tonky
p2b102318m92622ebb11r

p2b102318m92622ebb11r
They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweet Rhode Island Red, Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
Sweety is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red
p2b102318m92622ebb11r
