Miss Loretta

Whoa, miss Loretta, where did you get all these good looking women from?
Well, well, miss Loretta, Lord, will you please tell me, baby, where did you get all these good looking women from?
She said they come in here unexpected, you know they was blowed in here by a storm
I said, "Sugar mama, sugar mama, now will you please come back to me?
Sugar mama, sugar mama, won't you please, ma'am, come back to me?
Yes, I say bring me my granulated sugar, oh Lord, and ease my misery"
Yes, miss Loretta, here's something I got to tell you I want you to do
Long as you live, I want you to keep these women 'round here with you
I said miss, please ma'am, miss Loretta, keep these womens here with you
'Cause I might be a sugar maker and I may make it just as sweet as sugar can be
Yeah, you know I went to church last night; I didn't get there on time
They called on me to pray and I had praying on my mind,
Thinking about miss Loretta and the women, yes, man, they was on my mind
Yes, I thought about how nice miss Loretta was and how the women treated me so nice and kind
