Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress) (2003 Remastered Version) - The Hollies

Saturday night I was downtown

Working for the FBI

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 singing 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

I saw her heading to the table

Well a tall walking big black cat

When Charlie said I hope that you're able, boy

Well I'm telling you she knows where it's at

Well then suddenly we heard the sirens

And everybody started to run

Jumping under doors and tables

Well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand

And she was holding my right

Well I told her, "Don't get scared

'Cause you're gonna be spared"

Well I'm gonna be forgiven

If I wanna spend my living

With 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

Had it all, had it all, had it all...
