Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) Lyrics

Saturday night i was downtown
Working for the fbi
Sittin’ in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the da man
When i heard this woman sing a song

A pair of 45’s 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

I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When charlie said i hope that you’re able boy
’cause i’m telling you she knows where it’s at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
A-jumping out of doors and tables
When i heard somebody shootin’ a gun
Well the da was pumping my left hand

And a-she was a-holding my right
Well i told her don’t get scared
’cause you’re gonna be spared
I’ve gotta be forgivin’ if i wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5’9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look i was a bad mess
’cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
Had it all
