PIANO TALK
I heard that piano talk
Sista Maggie made that piano talk
Them notes got up
Them notes got up
walked around ’til they found
Sista Murray
They went through her soul
They went through her mind
They went through her body
& started Sista Murray jumpin’
She jumped up an’ down
like piano keys
stretched out her arms
like a preacher preachin’
An’ when she came to
She came to
like a lover
who’s done had
some lovin’
