From: GUEST,melanie

I heard a song the other day and the lyrics went something like...
She was sent to Georgia straigt from hell.. I'm gonna make her mine.

Awesome song but I didn't catch the artist or title. Any help?

Thanks!

Tinsley Ellis' HELL OR HIGH WATER can be found on 3 albums:

Tinsley Ellis: "Hell or High Water," Telarc CD 83531, 2002.

Tinsley Ellis: "Live! Highwayman," Alligator CD 4904, 2005.

Here's a partial transcription from a couple of sound samples:

Now when you want it, you can't have it.
...she's keepin' you away.
Don't it make you even more and more want it?
It don't matter what the people say.
But I know....
...
...with my head straight up you-know-where
And I'm lookin' for some love
But ... demon sent above
When there still ain't no 'ffection (?) there,
But I know, yes, I can tell
She was sent to Georgia right straight from hell,
And hell or high water, I'm gonna make the woman mine someday.

She's a teaser
Lord, I could please her
If she'd only....
