CHEROKEE QUEEN

a.k.a. DADDY SING ME A CRADLE SONG

Ahh she's a Cherokee queen now
Yes the prettiest sight I have ever seen
She's an Oklahoma lady
And she drives me crazy
I don't know what it is about her
But I just can't live without her
She's got me in a trance sir
Yeah so hot she's a dancer
Locked away she silently comes
A mellow beat she sweetly hums
She's got the words to all my songs
She sings to me all night long

She goes "Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Ahh she got all her elevation
And out of my arms
I put down legislation
With her redneck charms
I don't know what it is she doubts there
Make me want to love her
She got a crazy way of smiling
Just drives the boys wild
Reminds me of one of my high school haunts
She knows what I mean, she knows what I want
She got the words to all my songs
She sings to me all night long

She goes "Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Ahh she's a Cherokee queen
Oh the prettiest sight I have ever seen
She's an Oklahoma lady
And she drives me crazy
I don't know what it is about her
But I just can't live without her
Ahh she's got me in a trance sir
Yeah so hot she's a dancer
Locked away she silently comes
A mellow beat she sweetly hums
She's got the words to all my songs
And she sings to me all night long

"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"

"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"
"Daddy sing me a cradle song
Like you did a long time ago
Daddy sing me a silly song
Won't you rock my crazy bones"

Steel Mill song, 1970. One known performance in Jun 1970 in West End Bar, West End, NJ.

This is a typical, hard rocking Steel Mill number, with some stellar work from Phantom Dan Federici on the organ. The organ solo three quarters in the track is very similar to the guitar solo that would later resurface on YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME.
