Letra de
I Got a Woman

A música I Got a Woman foi inspirada em dois cantos gospel tradicionais, indicando a influência dessas raízes na evolução da música soul. Ray Charles, o compositor, fundiu elementos do gospel com o rhythm and blues, criando um som inovador. Essa música, em particular, destaca-se por ser reconhecida como uma das primeiras a fazer essa fusão, marcando um momento crucial na história da música popular americana.

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
