Nobody stands in between me and my man
It's me and Mr. Jones
(Me and Mr. Jones)
"You see that woman over yonder wearin' that big ol' red-rim hat, one o' them kind only the slick-town gals be sportin'? That's my lady right there. Ain't she somethin'? Name's Lilith... Lilith Moore. Lemme tell you now, Missus Lilith Moore-she don't play. That woman got a grip on me like a hound on a bone. So you go 'head do what you feel, but best know she don't take kindly to folks messin' 'round her Stacks."
"You ever hear tell of Lilith? Some say she was Adam's first wife-'fore Eve even showed her face. But she weren't no meek thing. Wouldn't lay down beneath him like he wanted. Said she was equal, and when he wouldn't have it, she walked. They say she turned wild, out there in the dark, runnin' with beasts, whisperin' to the wind. Ain't much of her in the Good Book-just a whisper in the old tongue. Says she dwells in the desolate places, with the owls and spirits. But I reckon she never left. Just been waitin', watchin', a shadow on the edge of a man's dream. A warning for any woman who forget what power she got in her bones. So I'll say it plain, so you don't forget: nobody stands in between me and my man."
