I'm A Woman (Live)

When I was a young girl, 'bout twelve years old

I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul

My mama told me the day I was born

She says "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"

I'm a woman, I can sing the blues

I'm a woman, I can change old to new

I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire

I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire

Well, I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun

Gonna do somethin' for you, ain't never been done

Gonna hold back the lightnin', with the palm of my hand

Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand

I'm a woman, I can sing the blues

I'm a woman, I can change old to new

I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire

I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire

When I was just a young girl, 'bout twelve years old

I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul

My mama told me the day I was born

She says "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"

I'm a woman, W O M A N

I'm a woman, woman to the end
