作曲：Roger Frederick Cook/Alan Clarke/Roger John Greenaway

Saturday night I was downtown

Working for the F B I

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 sing a song

A pair of 45s 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

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 shooting 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 forgiving 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
