Oh Lord a'mighty, look what's happened to me... Despite the title, this is not a gospel song. I'm not sure exactly what category it fits in but it's sort of early 50s/rock'n'roll or rhythm and blues with an updated lead guitar from the sixties. Is that confusing enough? It's also kind of a love song. Listen and see what you think.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh, Lord-a-mighty look what's happened to me,
I'm about as helpless as any poor man can be,
I took a walk downtown, heavens above,
I met a little girl and I fell in love,
Oh, Lord-a-mighty look what's happened to me.
Verse 2:
Well, she's the kind of woman a man finds it hard to resist,
One look from her eyes and I'm dreamin' 'bout her sweet kiss,
People shake their heads, they don't understand
What a little bitty girl can do to a man,
Oh Lord-a-mighty look what's happened to me.
Bridge:
Well, I can't eat and I can't think,
Since I met that girl I ain't slept a wink,
Is this any way for a man to be?
Oh Lord, look what's happened to me.
Verse 3:
Oh Lord-a-mighty, well ain't it a funny thing,
We only just met and now she's got me pickin' out rings,
Well, now she says it's time we set the date,
Believe it or not but I just can't wait,
Oh Lord-a-mighty, look what's happened to me.
Oh Lord-a-mighty, look what's happened to me.
