bobbie gentry - he made a woman out of me (live) lyrics

[verse 1]
i was born on a levee
a little bit south of montgom’ry
mama worked in the big house
and daddy he worked for the county
i never had no learnin’
until i turned 16
when joe henry come up the river, y’all
lord, made a woman outta me (yes, he did)
lord, he made a woman outta me (yeah)
[verse 2]
i used to tease joe henry
i guess it served me right
wasn’t long ’til he left me
cryin’ out in the night
joe henry had his way
he wеnt and set me free
well, i need tеll everybody
that the man made a woman outta me (she was)
lord, he made a woman outta me (yeah)

[bridge]
when i think back to that day so long ago
i+i+i get a little feelin’ on my mind
although it hurt me there’s one thing i know
when he left, he left him a woman behind (behind)

[verse 3]
when i see another young man
wantin’ to love and run (yeah)
my mind goes back to joe henry james
and the heck of a job he done (uh+huh)
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 outta me (yes, he did)
lord, he made a woman outta me (made a woman)
[outro]
sure made a woman outta me (yeah)
lord, he made a woman outta me (made a woman)
lord, he made a woman outta me (made a woman)
lord, he made a woman outta me (made a woman)
sure made a woman outta me (yeah)
lord, he made a woman outta me (yeah)
lord, he made a woman outta me
