"Bernadiah" Lyrics

There's a new girl in town
Nobody knows her well
She's the kind of a woman
You can hardly tell
If when you get her alone
Will she know how to please?
Or will she float through you arms like a cool easy breeze?

Oh Bernadiah

Used to see her working
Down at the superette,
Staring at me across the counter
In some old lady's dress.
But no rag could conceal
All the promise in her glance
And I want her so bad
Just give me a chance

Oh Bernadiah
You walk so slow
Your eyes are on fire

It's a Saturday night
I was looking for a dream
Asked her to the dance
She said, "what do you mean?"
When I got there I found her
Doing some devil step
When I tried to do it too
She just laughed

Oh Bernadiah
