I'm A Woman

When I was a little girl, only twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my dog gone soul
My mama told me the day I was grown
She says: Sing the blues child, sing it from now on
I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new

Spell w o m a n, oh, yeah

That means I'm grown
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
I'm a woman, I'm a rushing wind
I'm a woman, I can cut stone with a pin
I'm a woman, I know my stuff
I'm a woman, I ain't never had enough
I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun
Gonna do some for you, ain't never been done
I'ma hold back the lightning, with the palm of my hand
Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand

I'm a woman, oh, yeah
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
I'm a woman, I can make love to a crocodile
I'm a woman, I'm a love maker
I'm a woman, you know I'm an earth shaker
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm a woman
