HOLLIES - Long Cool Woman lyrics

rate me

(clarke / cook / greenaway)<br>Saturday night I was downtown<br>Working for the fbi<br>Sitting in a nest of bad men<br>Whisky bottles piling high<br><br>Bootlegging boozer on the west side<br>Full of people who are doing wrong<br>Just about to call up the da man<br>When I heard this woman singing a song<br><br>A pair of 45's made me open my eyes<br>My temperature started to rise<br>She was a long cool woman in a black dress<br>Just a 5'9, beautiful tall<br>With just one look I was a bad mess<br>'cos that long cool woman had it all<br><br>I saw her headin' to the table<br>Well a tall walking big black cat<br>When charlie said I hope that you're able boy<br>Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at<br>Well suddenly we heard the sirens<br>And everybody started to run<br>A jumping out of doors and tables<br>Well I heard somebody shooting a gun<br><br>Well the da was pumping my left hand<br>And then she was a-holding my right<br>Well I told her don't get scared<br>'cos you're gonna be spared<br>Well I've gotta be forgiven<br>If I wanna spend my living<br>With a long cool woman in a black dress<br>Just a 5'9 beautiful tall<br>Well, with just one look I was a bad mess<br>'cos that long cool woman had it all<br><br>Had it all
