Serious Doin' Woman

"You know I remember when I was a younger man used to travel by Greyhound bus. We used to call that ridin' the dog. Where you could go from one big city to the next. On your way, Sometimes you stop in these little country cafes, Where you could get a bite to eat, cup of coffee, Do some personal business, and maybe, Just maybe something else goin' on in there. Well, That's what this song is all about. We call this one "Serious Doin' Woman," and fellas, she was." Sitting in a diner in Georgia Highway leading out of town Having me a bowl of red beans and rice And two beers just to wash it on down It was a hot sultry day as I remember The sun was relentless at best She walked and upset the place In a plain tight cotton dress She's a Serious doin' woman She's a Serious Doin' woman She's a Serious doin' woman Do me some serious good She found a seat at the counter I greeted her with a smile She said I'll have what he has That could last me for a good long while She got me so darn nervous I couldn't keep no beans on my fork She said, "I don't know what I really want I'm just waiting on a bus to New York." You're a serious doin' woman You're a serious doin' woman You're a serious doin' woman Look, do me some serious good I said, "You look like you are lonely." She said, "You look like you lonely too Would you like to run together for a while And leave this mess of blues?" I said, you're a serious doin' woman You're a Serious doin' woman You're a Serious doin' woman Look, do me some serious good Yes Lord, you're a serious doin' woman You're a serious doin' woman You're a serious doin' woman Look, do me some serious good Mmm, well we got on that bus I guess you might be wondering What happened on that bus? Well, that's for another song Yeah, that's for another song
