I've been to school, now baby, I didn't need no book

You see, it was one good woman

I said, "Lord, that's all it took"

I'm gonna teach you how to drop your line"

She say, "I don't know about no fishing

I'm gonna teach you how to drop your line

It's the motion of the lure

It makes a catch most every time"



She say, "I don't know about no horses

But I still believe you could ride"

She say, "I don't know about no horses

But I still believe you could ride

I want you to ease up in my saddle

I want you to move from side to side"



She say, "I don't know about no farming

I will teach you how plow"

She say, "I don't know about no farming

I will teach you how plow"

She said, "A fool can plant a seed

But a wise man knows how"
