Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sittin´ 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 sing 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

[Instrumental Interlude]

I saw her heading to the table
Like a tall walking big black cat
When Charlie said I hope that you´re able boy
´Cause I´m telling you she knows where it´s at
Then suddenly we heard the sirens
And everybody started to run
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
Well I told her don´t get scared
´Cause you´re gonna be spared
I´ve gotta be forgivin´ if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5´9 beautiful tall
Yeah, with just one look I was a bad mess
´Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all
Had it all
