I'm A Woman

I can wash forty four pairs of socks

And have 'em hanging out on the line

I can starch and iron two dozen shirts

'Fore you can count from one to nine

I can slip up a great big dip up of lard

From a drippings can

Throw it in the skillet, do my shopping

Be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I can rub and scrub

'Til this house is shines just like a dime

Feed the baby, grease the car

And powder my nose at the same time

Get all dressed up

Go out swing till 4 A.M and then

Lay down at five, jump 'til 6

And start all over again

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

If you come to me sick leave

You know I'm gonna make you well

If you come to me, hexed up

You know I'm gonna break the spell

And if you come to me hungry

I'll feed ya full of my grits

If it's loving you want

I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

Say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece

Says there's nothing that I can't do

I can make a dress out of feeding sacks

I can make a man out of you

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman

W O M A N

That's all
