Civil Wars, The - I Had Me A Girl Lyrics






I had me a girl
Who taught me those things
A young man should know
Down, down on my knees
I’d beg and I’d plead
To learn a little bit more
Oh that woman taught me to pray
I saw Heaven every day
Lord, she could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a boy
Who buttoned me down
Drew me a line
He, he washed me as clean
As a sinner could be
Showed me the light
Oh that boy, he taught me to pray
But for all of his spit-shinin’ ways
Lord, he could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh
I had me a girl
Like cigarette smoke
She came and she went
I slipped through his hands
To my back door man
Under his chin
Oh that woman taught me to pray
But for all her wandering ways
She could
Oooooooo
Ooooooohhhhohhhh
Ooooooo
Ooooohhhhhhhhhh

She told me that they've split up! BIG BUMMER!! We both listen to ALL different types of music so it worked out GREAT!! Have a nice night Hnf! Tony

    L.... h....

    When the Kings left c4 and the clubhouse blew up.

  49. k.... n....

    Sons of anarchy was the best show

    k.... n....

    Period.

    k.... n....

    *Hell on Wheels

    k.... n....

    Black Sails

    k.... n....

    And it still is

    k.... n....

    @Gentlemen Of Fortune Brooo. Black Sails could literally be the biggest sleeping giant ever but people won't know about it😭🙃

  50. m.... i....

    Excellent !

  51. A.... O....

    I hated the clubhouse exploding but it was a deadly scene

  52. H.... ....

    "Norwegian Wood (the bird has flown) by the Beatles .....turns out Civil Wars wasn't as original as I thought....

    H.... ....

    +HollowMatt did u really listened to both songs? they are not the same, is not stealing. They may sound alike but it is because is the genre, if they are inspired by the Beatles well of course It'll sound similar, I've seen this in other bands and they are not stealing someone else's style, they are just inspired on it.
    Damn I think I'm being clear in what I want to say

    H.... ....

    @HollowMatt 5 words that are in the same sequence dos not constitute plagiarism for music. Sampling on the other hand is not only stealing but it is also an admission that you are low on creative power.

    H.... ....

    @Mike Tee thanks for clarifying. I love them, but you can definitely hear it. Sometimes it gets caught and there are lawsuits, but sometimes it goes under the radar. mojo did a top 10 on it. Thanks again man

    H.... ....

    @HollowMatt Again, there isn't a copyright court in the world that would rule this a copy. Same genre of sound but otherwise devoid of infringement.Hence, there has never been, nor will there ever be a successful litigation of it.

    H.... ....

    @RuDee Sade if it was they could have said so. And I know what an homage is, and it involves royalties of some kind I think

  53. N.... ....

    Thank you, Pandora... I have fallen in love...

    N.... ....

    Same tho

  54. L.... E....

    They sound just as good live...so rare :) Amazing job!

  55. G.... D....

    this song is so badass

  56. I.... C....

    such a good song

  57. D.... ....

    Chibbs: ...8 o'clock...
    Jax: Full table for the vote! EVERYONE OUT, NOW!

    D.... ....

    me too. haha

    D.... ....

    @Dartanius100 only one "B" on chibs lol

    D.... ....

    Dartanius100 SOA <3

    D.... ....

    NO NO NO, ABEL!

  58. C.... C....

    sons of anarchy has some good music

  59. k.... ....

    Dude they got back together

    k.... ....

    I know. :( So sad..Joy started her solo album a week ago i think. Maybe one day they will realize that we( their fans) need their music so much!

    k.... ....

    Yeah, there music is very unique and beautiful:)

    k.... ....

    Unfortunatlly, no. :(

    k.... ....

    I know that she's working on a new album right now..

    k.... ....

    Nope, I'm sorry my friend, any news since January/February with that Grammy The Civil Wars won.

  60. D.... _....

    Just discovered this band, and just discovered that they broke up, WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS.

    D.... _....

    probably because they realized their own relationships and sanity wasn't worth pleasing the masses...they had something special. i say we should just be happy that we got to witness their musical magic for as long as we did. <3

    D.... _....

    AlwaysCrazyKindaLazy die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

    D.... _....

    She wanted to resume her career in Pop music. He didnt. Thats why they split

    D.... _....

    So you could say.. They had some civil wars.

    D.... _....

    @Kendon Sigl Doubtful. They could barely look at each other in their last concert, Joy looked absolutely broken, John Paul colder than ever. Then they immediately cancelled their sold out shows. Why would Joy plan a tour with the Civil Wars if she wanted to leave or change it? Why cancel the tour instead of just finishing it, finishing the CW properly, saying goodbye to the fans and making money nonetheless?? They don't even talk. Clearly other things happened and we might never know what.

  61. a.... o....

    SAMCRO <3 

  62. Y.... A....

    They are magnificent.. So sad they cant keep making magic. Sorry, music.
