SHE SAYS GOD MADE HER A SINNER,
                        A7
JUST TO KEEP FAT MEN THINNER,

               Dm                                                                    F7
AS THEY TUMBLE DOWN IN HEAPS BEFORE HER FEET,

THEY HANG AROUND IN GROUPS, LIKE BATTLE WEARY TROOPS,

                 F                           Dm                                        G9           C7
ONE CAN OFTEN SEE THEM QUEUE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET,

                Bb                                            A7
YOU SEE PATRICIA, OR DELICIA, NOT ONLY IS A SINGER,

THE MANNER IN WHICH SHE WAS EXPOSED,

Bb                                           Bbm
LATER ON IN COURT, WELL, EVERYBODY THOUGHT,

    F                           Dm                       G9                 C7
A SUMMER RUN IN JAIL WOULD BE PROPOSED,

               Bb                                          A7
BUT THE JUDGE SAID PATRICIA, OR MAY I SAY DELICIA

       Dm                                         G7                 C7
THE FACTS OF, THIS CASE, LIE BEFORE ME,
