The Hollies - Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) - 2003 Remastered Version lyrics

Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sitting in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman singing a song 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 With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all Woo! I saw her head up to the table With a tall walking big black cat Well, Charlie said "I hope that you're able, boy 'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at" When suddenly we heard the sirens And everybody started to run I jumped down and across the table When I heard somebody shooting a gun Well, the DA was pumping my left hand And then she was a-holding my right Well, I told her "Don't get scared 'Cause you're gonna be spared" Well I've gotta be forgiven If I wanna spend my living With a long cool woman in a black dress Just a 5'9" beautiful tall Well, with just one look I was a bad mess '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
