Lyrics
When I was a young girl, 'bout twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul
My mama told me the day I was born
She says "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new
I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
Well, I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun
Gonna do somethin' for you, ain't never been done
Gonna hold back the lightnin', with the palm of my hand
Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand
I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
I'm a woman, I can change old to new
I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire
I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
When I was just a young girl, 'bout twelve years old
I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul
My mama told me the day I was born
She says "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"
I'm a woman, W O M A N
I'm a woman, woman to the end
