Chords for Wet Willie, Leona, Live 1977 The Bottom Line, New York

Ladies and gentlemen, the bottom line.
I present Effingray, the recording artist.
All right. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We're going to do a song right now about a place way down near Clarksdale, Mississippi.
Way down south.
Where they got the best fried chicken, collard greens, sweet potatoes, iced tea you ever put in your mouth.
Talking about Leona's place.
We're going to rock. _ _ _
Here we go.

_ I was just outside of [C] Clarksdale on my way up to [Gm] Tennessee.
We'd been driving all night and barely had the [A] day to stop and find [D] something to eat.
[G] We looked high and low for nearly half an [C] hour before we finally come [Gm] up on the plate.
[G] It was just a little old joint with a hand-painted sign [D] that said Leona's Home [G] Cooking Cafe.
_ It looked so good.
_ [Gm] _ Well, I [G] parked my ride and I'm moving [C] inside.
Leona showed me a [Gm] place to sit.
Then she cooked up a meal that still sets me [A] drooling every time I think [D] about it.
[G] She brought out my plate, set it on the [C] table, and she rubbed her hand [Gm] down on my knee.
I said, oh, [G] Leona, don't you [D] want to come and do some [G] cooking with me? _
That's when I said, won't you be my honey child?
_ _ Won't you be my honey child? _ _
[C] You're down home cooking, you drive me wild.
_ _ [G] _ Won't that servant be your wife?
_ [D] If you're tired of being lonely, [Em] I'll be your wife.
[C] _ _
[G] _ Won't you be my honey child?
_ She fixed me good old golden brown southern fried [C] chicken that would make a [G] colonel run and hide.
We had collard greens and fresh snap [A] beans and sweet potatoes [E] on the side.
[G] We had homemade biscuits, big as your [C] fit.
They were dripping with [Gm] sweet cream and butter.
I made some jar full of cold iced [D] tea, so good it'd make you [G] run on through your mother.
Left her hand and said, won't you be my honey child?
_ _ Everybody, won't you be my honey child?
Won't you [C] know you're down home cooking, you drive me wild. _ _
[G] _ Won't that servant be your wife?
_ [D] If you're tired of being lonely, I'll be your [C] honey. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Everybody _ [C] _ _

[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ help us out now.
Won't you [D] be my honey child?
Come on, let's get that old batty.
Won't you be my honey child?
If you know you're down home cooking, you drive me wild.
It's [Em] making me crazy.
Come on, let's stay with me a while.
Everybody, if you're tired of being lonely, I'll be your [D] wife.
[C] _ _ [G] Won't you be my honey child?
Leona.
