He Made A Woman Out Of Me Lyrics - Good Wine & Bad Decisions - Julie Roberts

I was born on a levy 

A little bit south of Montgomery 

Mama worked in the big house 

And Daddy, he worked for the county 

I never had no learning' until I turned 16 

When Joe Henry came up the river, y'all 

Lord, he made a woman out of me 

I used to tease Joe Henry 

I guess it served me right 

It wasn't long till he left me 

Cryin' out in the night 

Joe Henry had his say 

He wouldn't set me free 

Well, I'm here to tell everybody 

That man made a woman out of me 

Lord, he made a woman out of me 

When I think back to that day so long ago 

I got a little feel in' on my mind 

Although it hurt me, there's one thing I know 

When he left, he left a woman behind 

When I met a mother young man 

Wantin' to love and run 

My mind goes back to Joe Henry James 

And the heck of a job he done 

Ain't no other man let me down 

You see, I've been set free 

Ever since way back yonder 

When Joe made a woman out of me 

Lord, he made a woman out of me 

Lord, he made a woman out of me
