Lyrics

Yeah, I got a woman, way across town now
She's good to me, ah yeah
Yeah, I got a woman, way across town
She's good to me, she's good to me
She gives me money when I'm in need
Lord, she's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman, way across town now
That's good to me, yeah
She saves her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Saves her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh yeah
She saves her loving, just for me
You know she loves me so tenderly
Yeah, I got a woman, way across town now
She's good to me
Ah, play your horns
She's there to love me
Both day and night
Never grumbles or fusses
Always treats me right
Never running in the street, Lord
Leaving me alone
She knows a woman's place, y'all
Is right there, now, in the home
I got a woman, way across town now
She's good to me, yeah, she's good to me
Yeah, I got a woman, way across town
She's good to me, yeah, oh yeah
She's my baby, don't you understand
And I'm her loving man
I got a woman, way across town now
She's good to me, yeah
You know she's alright
Know she's alright
She's good to me, she's good to me
Alright now
