She Was a Dreamer - Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

Well now, I’ve gotta girl

A-sweet sixteen

Her mother wouldn’t listen

To her dreams

I know she was a-dreamin'

She dreamed them old southern dreams

She was the dreamest girl

The dreamest girl I most ever seen

Now, she dreamed I was kissin' her

A-down by the mill

She’d dream that she’d taken me from

The girl on the hill

I know she was a dreamer, now

She dreamed them old southern dreams

She was the dreamest girl

The dreamest girl I most ever seen, yeah

Now she dreamin' I was kissin' her

Hold her close to my breast

She told that much a-dream, but

She wouldn’t tell the rest

I know she was a dreamer, now

She dreamed them old southern dreams

She was the dreamest girl

The dreamest girl I most ever seen

Well, she know’d about lovin'

From huggin' on down

She was the dreamest girl

From miles around

I know she was a dreamer

She dreamed them old southern dreams, yeah

She was a dreamest girl

The dreamest girl I most ever seen

Well, she tried to tell her mother

A-what she did

She talked so much

She couldn’t hardly l keep it hid

An I know she was a dearmer

She dreamed them old southern dreams

She was the dreamest girl

The dreamest girl I most ever seen
