Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Pride And Joy (Live)

Pride and Joy is a song by American singer, guitarist and songwriter Stevie Ray Vaughan and his backing band Double Trouble, released in late 1983 by Epic Records. It lists Vaughan as the writer, but actually it is rewritten from a 1962 record called "I Go Into Orbit" by Johnny Acey. The song was released on Stevie's debut studio album Texas Flood (1983). Pride and Joy was released as Vaughan's debut single and has become one of his most popular songs.
According to Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, Vaughan wrote it for a new girlfriend at the time, somewhat ironically, a later fight with her inspired "I'm Crying".

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Well, you've heard about lovin' givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I love my baby
My heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I love my lady
She's long and lean
You mess with her
You'll see a man get mean

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Well, I love my baby
Like the finest wine
Stick with her until the end of time

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy

[Verse 5]
Yeah, I love my baby
My heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old

[Chorus]
She my sweet little thing
She my pride and joy
She my sweet little baby
I'm her little lover boy
