Serious Doin' Woman

Sitting in a diner in Georgia
Highway leading out of town
Having me a bowl of red beans and rice
And two beers just to wash it on down
It was a hot sultry day as I remember
The sun was relentless at best
She walked and upset the place
In a plain tight cotton dress
She’s a Serious doin' woman
She’s a Serious Doin' woman
She’s a Serious doin' woman
Do me some serious good
She found a seat at the counter
I greeted her with a smile
She said I’ll have what he has
That could last me for a good long while
She got me so darn nervous
I couldn’t keep no beans on my fork
She said, «I don’t know what I really want
I’m just waiting on a bus to New York.»
You’re a serious doin' woman
You’re a serious doin' woman
You’re a serious doin' woman
Look, do me some serious good
I said, «You look like you are lonely.»
She said, «You look like you lonely too
Would you like to run together for a while
And leave this mess of blues?»
I said, you’re a serious doin' woman
You’re a Serious doin' woman
You’re a Serious doin' woman
Look, do me some serious good
Yes Lord, you’re a serious doin' woman
You’re a serious doin' woman
You’re a serious doin' woman
Look, do me some serious good
Mmm, well we got on that bus
I guess you might be wondering
What happened on that bus?
Well, that’s for another song
Yeah, that’s for another song
