Corinna

Lyrics: Taj Mahal
Music: Taj Mahal

Played by Taj Mahal with Bill Kreutzmann and Friends on New Year's Eve 2016 in Hawaii. Not to be confused with the Bob Weir song Corrina

Bird, what a whistle, baby got that bird
Honey got that bird, it would sing
Baby got a bird, honey got a bird, it would sing
Oh, without my Corrina, it sure don't mean a natural thing

I learned to love you, baby, for I call
Honey for I call your name
Baby, for I call, mama for I call your name
Wouldn't trade your love for money
Corrina, you're my warm heart
Honey, my love like rain

Have mercy, have mercy, baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my hard luck soul
Oh, baby on my hard luck, my hard luck soul
Got a rainbow 'round my shoulder
It looks like silver, momma
Honey shines like Klondike gold

Tell me sweet Corrina, that where you'd stay
Momma, where you stay last night
Baby, where you stay, honey, where you stay last night
Oh, your shoes weren't buttoned, that's why I'm lookin'
That dress wasn't lookin' right

Well, I love Corinna, yeah, tell the world I do
Let me tell the world, the world I do
Ain't no woman in fourteen counties
Love a man like Taj the way you do

Have mercy, have mercy, baby, on my hard luck
Honey, on my hard luck soul
Oh, baby on my hard luck, my hard luck soul
Got a rainbow 'round my shoulder
It looks like silver, momma
Honey shines like Klondike gold

Well baby tell the world, tell the world I do
Baby tell the world, the world I do
Ain't no one in fourteen counties
Love you like the way I do

Well, you look like silver
Honey, you shine, baby, like Klondike gold
You look like silver, baby mama, shining like Klondike gold
You've got a lean on my body, got a mortgage on my
Mortgage on my very soul

Got a bird that a whistles, baby got that bird
Honey got that bird, it would sing
Baby got that bird, our bird would sing
Oh, without my Corrina, don't mean a natural thing

Corinna
