Long Cool Woman Lyrics
By The Hollies

Welcome to the Long Cool Woman lyrics page. Below is also a free acoustic tutorial on how I play this tune.

The Hollies Ahad a huge hit with this song in the early 70's. Allan Clarke left the group after the song was released but then re-joined after the band started to taste more success then he had with a solo career.

--- Start Of Long Cool Woman Lyrics ---

Saturday night i was downtown ... Working for the F..B..I
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

BREAK

I saw her headin' 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 suddenly we heard the sirens ... and everybody started to run
A jumping out of doors and tables ... well I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well the DA was pumping my left hand ... and then she was a-holding my right
Well I told her don't get scared 'cos you're gonna be spared
Well I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living
With a long cool woman in a black dress .. just a 5'9 beautiful tall
Well, with just one look I was a bad mess ... 'cos that long cool woman had it all

Had it all ... had it all ... had it all
Had it all ... had it all
ohhhhhhh ... had it all
