High Yellow Girl

Everybody says that you're so beautiful

From the inside to the out

My precious jewel

I hope that I can give you all the love you need

I'd lay down my life for ya baby, yes indeed



High Yellow girl

Golden lady fair, with hair, like lamb's wool

High yellow child

So familiar to me, like the river Nile



I lie awake at night sometimes my eyes get full

How did I deserve such love from an angel

Oh, the lovely simple thangs, your soul rushing

The sun rises and sets on ya baby, blessed be



High yellow girl

Skin like clover honey, eyes like mother's soul

High yellow child

One half dark like daddy, one half mama bright



So familiar to me (you look like me)

Your smile, it reminds me of every aromatic saffron

High yellow child, Yellow child high



Patiently, I waited, for so long, I prayed

And my sweet Jesus sent me you on Christmas day

Last night I picked up my guitar, chile I'm feelin you

What can I give to my daughter, hey y'all, tell the truth



High yellow girl

Golden lady fair, with hair like lamb's wool

High yellow child

So familiar through me, like the river Nile



So familiar to me, your smile

It reminds me of aromatic saffron

High yellow child, Yellow child high

They call here Mello Yellow

Cause her skin is caramel

They call her Mellow Yellow

Cause her skin is caramel
