Hepa Jika
© SMP Donovan 2006
Style: Country Rock
Notes: A classic country blues story about a dark haired beauty who will lead you astray.
Well it's a whole other story in a whole other world.
A mess of complications. Let me tell you 'bout the girl.
A whole lot of trouble, a word to the wise,
Don't ever be mistaken she's the devil in disguise.
Oh mercy me, better let it be.
Alabama beauty there staring back at me.
Take a chance, baby wanna dance.
Moving like an alley cat.
I got Hepa Jika next to me.
Well her hair is like a raven, her eyes are black as night,
Ruby lips are threatening to lead me right.
Get me to the station, I gotta leave the state.
Get me on a Greyhound 'fore it is too late.
Oh mercy me, better let it be.
Alabama beauty there staring back at me.
Take a chance, baby wanna dance.
Moving like an alley cat.
I got Hepa Jika next to me.
Well her daddy he's a preacher, her mamma she's a witch,
Her brother is in Memphis on a three year stretch.
Her little kid sister is making eyes at me.
An Uncle in Dubois, an Aunty up in Tennessee.
Oh mercy me, better let it be.
Alabama beauty there staring back at me.
Take a chance, baby wanna dance.
Moving like an alley cat.
I got Hepa Jika next to me.
