Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) - Ronnie Dunn

Saturday night I was down town

Working for the F.B.I.

Sitting in a nest of bad men

Whiskey bottles piling high

Boot legging boozer on the west side

Full of people who are doing wrong

Just about to call up the D.A.

man

When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes

My temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress

Just a five nine beautiful tall

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 Charlie said «I hope that you’re able, boy»

I’m telling you she knows where it’s at

Well, suddenly we heard a siren

And everybody started to run

A jumping out of doors and tables

Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun

The D.A.

was pumping my left hand

And she was holding my right

I told her don’t get scared

Cause you’re gonna be spared

I gotta be forgiven

If I want to spend my living with

A long cool woman in a black dress

Just a five nine beautiful tall

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
