Letra de
I Got a Woman

I Got a Woman fue inspirada en dos cantos gospel tradicionales, lo que muestra la influencia de estas raíces en la evolución de la música soul. Ray Charles, el compositor, fusionó elementos del gospel con el rhythm and blues, creando un sonido innovador. Esta canción, en particular, se destaca por ser reconocida como una de las primeras en hacer esta fusión, marcando un momento crucial en la historia de la música popular estadounidense.

Well I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
Said I got a woman, way over town
Good to me, oh yeah
She gives me money when I'm in need
Yeah, she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah


She's there to love me
Both day and night

I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
Said I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah
Well, she's my baby, don't you understand
Yeah, I'm her lovin' man, now
I got a woman, way over town
That's good to me, oh yeah

Well, don't you know she's all right
Well, don't you know she's all right
