Born in Louisiana in a town called Franklin I was fully matured by the time I reached the age of ten A mulatto girl is what they called me And us mulattos had no trouble at all with men All men say that I'm as sweet as honey 'Cause I'm thirty-four, thirty-eight and twenty-two at the tummy They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet-y is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red Tried to live a life I thought I wanted me to I went to church, finished school, was a member of a [?] But old pastor [?] and Nathan Jones They were just too hard headed to leave me alone They said that I was sweet as honey 'Cause I'm thirty-four, thirty-eight and twenty-two at the tummy They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet-y is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red I was seventeen when I moved to New Orleans 'Cause living in the city has always been my dream People laughed, said it was a shame and a pity When old mayor Daley gave me the key to the city He too said that I was as sweet as honey 'Cause I'm thirty-four, thirty-eight and twenty-two at the tummy They called me Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet Rhode Island Red Sweet-y is what they said about Sweet Rhode Island Red
