Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI

Sitting in a nest of bad men. Whisky bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side. Full of people who are doing wrong

Just about to call up the D.A. man, When I heard this woman singing a song

A                                                                           B

A pair of 45's made me open my eyes  My temperature started to rise

                     A                                                                               G                        E

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 'cos that long cool woman had it all

I saw her headin' to the table, Well a tall walking big black cat

When charlie said I hope that you're able boy. Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at

Well suddenly we heard the sirens, And everybody started to run

A jumping out of doors and tables, Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the D.A. was pumping my left hand, And then she was a-holding my right

E                                                           G                                    A

Well I told her don't get scared 'cos you're gonna be spared Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living
