She Done Moved Lyrics

I went up on Broadway, looked downfield
I looked for the girl that they call Lucille
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City, dancing like a fool

I went to the river
I couldn't get across
I paid five dollars for an old grey hoss
I put him in, he couldn't swim
I paid five dollars to get him out again
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City, dancing like a fool

I go tell your mama
Sister Susie
Just exactly what I'm gonna doosie
I'm gonna find her, bring her home
Let me tell you baby, it won't be long
She done moved
She done moved to Kansas City baby, dancing like a fool
She done moved to Kansas City baby, dancing like a fool

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
