Sip Molasses

He put his hand in a hand of a woman
He threw his glove down upon the ground
He lost a snap when he circled back
And he never came, never came back around

She cracked that boy like she was a whippin'
She wore her glove down upon her hip
Oh, he loved that woman for a livin'
And come sundown, she's gonna sink that ship

Sip, boy, sip molasses
Sip molasses 'til your eyes do shine
Moonstone love, a hundred kisses
Serenita and a spell divine

Some say they saw him keep on walkin'
Some say pretty drank him up good
The parlor window's always left wide open
And only wind left where he once stood

Sip, boy, sip molasses
Sip molasses 'til your eyes do shine
Moonstone love, a hundred kisses
Serenita and a spell divine

Sip, boy, sip molasses
Sip molasses 'til your eyes do shine
Mmmm
Sip, boy, sip molasses
Sip molasses 'til your eyes do shine
Moonstone love, a hundred kisses
Serenita and a spell divine
