v.1
Saturday night I was downtown workin for the FBI
Sittin' in a nest of bad men, whiskey bottles pilin' high
Bootleggin' boozer on my west side full of people who are doin' wrong
Just about to call up the DA man, when I heard this woman singin' a song
A pair of forty-fives made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
Chorus:
She was [livin' with] a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a five-nine beautiful doll
With just one look I was a bad mess
Cause that long cool woman had it all
v.2
I saw her head up to a table, with a tall-walkin' big black cat
An' Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy"
"Well, I'm tellin' you she knows where it's at"
Suddenly we heard the sirens, an' everybody started to run
Jumpin' under doors and tables, well I heard somebody shootin' a gun
v.3
Well the DA was pumpin' my left hand, an' she was a-holdin' my right
Well I told her "don't get scared, cause you're gonna be spared"
Well I'm gonna be forgiven if I wanna spend my livin with a
Rpt. Ch.
Had it all...
