brownskin woman, you my kin?
dancin’ round in mortal sin
dancin’ round in mortal sin
swirlin’ to the strings of a mando’lin
rustlin’ skirts blowin’ in tha wind
hair put up with them fancy pins
arms flyin’ high from tha spirit within
men settin’ round swiggin’ on gin
bettin’ on who’s gonna win
don’t care when the night’s gonna end
all gonna stay at the caravan inn
so ya’ll come on- let the fun begin
rustlin’ skirts blowin’ in tha wind

bettin’ on who’s gonna win
don’t care when the night’s gonna end

Mortal sin? nah, I don't think so.
I can easily imagine her whirlin' around the campfire, enchanting everyone who watches.
yeah, that ole mortal sin thing from the southern baptist in southern usa - but i don't think so either - and there she goes, whirlin' still! ;)
