Saturday night I was downtown working for the FBI
                             G               A            E
Sittin' in a nest of bad men whiskey bottles piling high
 
                                            G              A            E
Bootlegging boozer on the west side full of people who are doing wrong
                                        G                A            E
Just about to call up the DA man when I heard this woman sing a song
 
A                                   B
A pair of 45's made me open my eyes my temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall
A                                     G               E
With just one look I was a bad mess 'cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table well a tall walking big black cat when
                                                    G               A

A-jumping out of doors and tables when I heard somebody shootin' a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand and a-she was a-holding my right
                                        G
Well I told her don't get scared 'cause you're gonna be spared
