Correction Lyrics He Made a Woman Out of Me by Bobbie Gentry

Back

Lyrics

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)

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 say
He went and set me free
I need tell everybody
That the man made a woman outta me
Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yeah)

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)

When I meet 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 (He made a woman)
Made a woman outta me (Yeah)
Joe made a woman outta me (Uh-huh-huh)
Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yes, he did)
Joe made a woman outta me (He made a woman)
Lord, he made a woman outta me
