Rock And Roll Queen Lyrics - Blood Sweat & Tears

(Driscoll) 

She was wild, as a raging river 

She was free as an earth blown wind 

Rock and roll queen, rock and roll queen 

Wow, wow, rock, rock, rock, rock 

Her Daddy was a stud-dealing gentleman, known as the Golden Hand 

Mama was a good-timing lady, ran off with a travelling man 

At fourteen she became a woman, Lord, Lord, Lord, how it made her weep 

And the only family she ever knew was the people out on the street, that's right 

They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

She gets high with a rock and roll band 

Wow she can sing with the guitar strumming 

People, I swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band 

Hey now, now, now 

She made it for a while 

As a flower child 

On the streets of the old San Fran 

Then she made her pitch just a-singing the blues with a hard rocking acid band 

Her name up in lights, 

From the gutter to the heights 

Lord, it must have been a dream 

And the people came from miles and miles around 

Just to watch that rock and roll queen 

You know what they said - they said 

They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

She gets high with a rock and roll band 

She can sing with the guitar strumming 

I swear you're gonna believe 

Swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band 

Can't you hear the beat of the music 

Lord don't it sound like thunder 

Jimmy's got his guitar 

Louie's playing that trumpet 

Otis Redding sings a sad, sad song 

Now, now, now, now, now, now 

I can hear the lady singing now 

Wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

She gets high with a rock and roll band 

She can sing with the guitar strumming 

I swear you're gonna believe 

People, yes you're going to believe 

I know that you're going to believe ... 

Wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

Wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

Wow, she's a soul-singing woman 

She gets high .......
