Hollies - Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress Lyrics
The HolliesLong Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)(Clarke/Cook/Greenaway)Track 7 on album Distant LightSaturday night I was downtownWorking for the FBISitting in a nest of bad menWhisky bottles piling highBootlegging boozer on the west sideFull of people who are doing wrongJust about to call up the DA manWhen I heard this woman singing a songA pair of 45's made me open my eyesMy temperature started to riseShe was a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9, beautiful tallWith just one look I was a bad mess'Cos that long cool woman had it all{interlude}WhoaI saw her headin' to the tableWell a tall walking big black catWhen Charlie said I hope that you're able boyWell I'm telling you she knows where it's atWell suddenly we heard the sirensAnd everybody started to runA jumping out of doors and tablesWell I heard somebody shooting a gunWell the DA was pumping my left handAnd then she was a-holding my rightWell I told her don't get scared'Cos you're gonna be sparedWell I've gotta be forgivenIf I wanna spend my livingWith a long cool woman in a black dressJust a 5'9 beautiful tallWell, with just one look I was a bad mess'Cos that long cool woman had it allHad it allHad it allYeah had it allHad it allHad it allOoohHad it all{fade out}
