Basie Swings The Blues
I'm A Woman
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Everything, everything, everything gonna be all right
Oh, yeah
When I was a little girl, only twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul
My mama told me the day I was grown
She said, "sing the blues, child
"Sing it from now on"
I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, change old to new
Spelled W-O-M-A-N, oh, yeah
That means I'm grown
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
Hey!
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I know my stuff
I'm a woman, I ain't never had enough
I'm going down yonder, behind the sun
Gonna do something for you, ain't never been done
I'm gonna hold back the lightning with the palm of my hand
Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand
I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm a woman
Oh, yeah
Everything, everything, everything gonna be all right
Oh, yeah
When I was a little girl, only twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul
My mama told me the day I was grown

"Sing it from now on"
I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, change old to new
Spelled W-O-M-A-N, oh, yeah
That means I'm grown
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
Hey!
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm a woman
