Long Cool Woman (in A Black Dress) Lyrics - Distant Light - Hollies

Miscellaneous 

Saturday night I was downtown 

Working for the FBI 

Sitting in a nest of bad men 

Whisky 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 

'Cos 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 a siren 

And everybody started to run 

Jumping out of 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 

Photos 

'Cos 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 

'Cos that long cool woman had it all
