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
Soul Sister Annie
You may recognize her family
They're working to lift
Working to lift the soul
Soul Sister Annie
Working for a penny
Working for the blues band
Work for the blues band show
For a single dollar
She gonna make you holler
Fill the world
Fill your world with soul
She's gonna let 'em roll
Roll Sister Annie
