Black Woman Lyrics

I don't want no jet black woman
Oh she's too mean, Lord, she's too mean
I don't want no jet black woman
Oh she's too mean, Lord, Lord, she's too mean

I don't want no sugar in my coffee
It make me mean, Lord, it make me mean (Oh Lord)
I don't want no sugar in my coffee
It make me mean, (woah) Lord, Lord it make me mean

I got a bulldog, 'weighs five hundred
In my backyard, Lord, Lord, in my backyard
I got a bulldog, 'weighs five hundred
In my backyard, Lord, Lord, in my backyard

When he bark he roar like thunder
Up in the clouds, Lord, Lord, up in the clouds
When he bark he roar like thunder
Up in the clouds, Lord, Lord, up in the clouds

When you meet my long-haired woman
Just bow your head, Lord, Lord, just bow your head
When you meet my long-haired woman
Go bow your hear, Lord, Lord, just bow your head

I don't want no bald-headed woman (why?)
Oh she's too mean, Lord, Lord, oh she's to mean
I don't want no bald-head woman
Oh she's too mean, Woah Lordy, Lord, oh she's to mean

Go on now!
