Black Pearl Lyrics

Deep down in Mississippi
I found my sweet delta blues
She weaved a little Southern spell on me
Made a little voodoo

She was born the bright side of midnight
When her mama was seventeen
She was a hot blooded - God fearin' - Gospel girl
The finest that I ever seen - Oh

She's black coffee - Little bit of cream
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream

Black pearl - Yeah my kinda girl
Just the kind of thing to rock my world
Black pearl - Oh my kinda girl - Yeah

Met her in a dixie diner
Put on the Southern hospitality
I can still smell her sweet molasses
Running all over me

We started rollin' like the river
Like a twister tearin' through the town
Tongue tied - satisfied - 'n Southern fried
As she drove this ol' dixie down
She's black coffee - Little bit of cream
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream

Black pearl - My kinda girl
Just the kind of thing to rock my world
Black pearl - She's my kinda girl - Yeah

Yeah - She's alright - Yeah - She's ok
Makin' love night - Yeah - Really made my day

She was born the bright side of midnight
When her mama was seventeen - Yeah
She was a hot blooded - God fearin' - Gospel girl
The finest that I ever seen - Yeah baby

She's black coffee - Little bit of cream
Sweet brown sugar - My midnight dream

(Hey, hey.)

Black pearl - My kinda girl
Just the kind of thing to rock my world
Black pearl - Oh my kinda girl

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
