Saturday night I was downtown
Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high
Whiskey bottles piling high
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the D.A. man
Just about to call up the D.A. man
When I heard this woman singing a song
When I heard this woman singing a song
A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes
A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise
My temperature started to rise
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9' beautiful 'n' tall
Just a 5'9' beautiful 'n' tall
Just one look I was a bad mess
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
I saw her heading to the table
I saw her heading to the table
Well, a tall walking big black cat
Well, a tall walking big black cat
Charlie said, I hope that you're able, boy
Charlie said, I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at
Well, suddenly we hear the sirens
Well, suddenly we hear the sirens
And everybody started to run
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Jumping under doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun
Well, I heard someone shooting a gun
Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
She was holding my right
She was holding my right
Well, I told her, don't get scared
Well, I told her, don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living
I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9' beautiful 'n' tall
Just a 5'9' beautiful 'n' tall
Well with just one look I was a bad mess
Well with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
