Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the F.B.I.
(E)
Whiskey bottles piling high
(E)
Full of people who are doing wrong
(E)
When I heard this woman sing a song
A pair of 45s made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
1)
I saw her head up the table
Well, a tall walking big black cat
(E)
Well, I'm telling you she knows where it's at
(E)
And everybody started to run
(E)
When I heard somebody shooting a gun
(E)
And a-she was a-holding my right
(E)
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgiving if I wanna spend my living
(A)
Just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
