Lyrics
She was born in New Orleans New Orleans, Louisiana Branded with the name, Lisa Sawyer Circa 1963 Grandmother was Indian, Indian Her mother's name is Eartha Swift as the wind, fierce as fire Father's name was Victor Worked two jobs to provide for his flock She was the youngest of seven Seven She grew up on Luisa Street Chaos around, put aside cozy Small but a mansion in her eyes Eyes, eyes Mansion Never had much money, money But was filthy rich 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 the Louisiana sun Voice like a symphony of the most beautiful instruments, woah Beautiful At the age of sixteen, sixteen, she found Christ at an alter all along he was calling her name The gas was smoking from an old wrinkled mane, mane, mane Gas, woah She was born in New Orleans She was born in New Orleans She was born in New Orleans New Orleans
