Lyrics:

Long Cool Woman
the Hollies
(From The Lyric Sheet Included With The Uk Pressing
of The 'distant Light' Album)

saturday Night I Was Downtown
working For The F.b.i.
sitting In A Nest Of Bad Men
whiskey 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 Sing A Song

a Pair Of 45s 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
'cause That Long Cool Woman Had It All

i Saw Her Heading To The Table
like A Tall Walking Big Black Cat
when Charlie Said I Hope That You're Able Boy
'cause I'm Telling You She Knows Where It's At
then Suddenly We Heard The Sirens
and Everybody Started To Run
a-Jumping Out Of Doors And Tables
when I Heard Somebody Shooting A Gun
well The Da Was Pumping My Left Hand

and A-She Was A-Holding My Right
well I Told Her Don't Get Scared
'cause You're Gonna Be Spared
i've Gotta Be Forgiving If I Wanna Spend My Living
with A Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress
just A 5'9 Beautiful Tall
yeah, With Just One Look I Was A Bad Mess
'cause That Long Cool Woman Had It All
had It All.
