See-line woman
She drink coffee
She drink tea
And then go home
See-line woman
See-line woman
Dressed in green
Wears silk stockings

See-line woman

Dressed in red
Make a man

See-line woman

For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan
See-line woman

Wink at a man

See-line woman
Empty his pockets
And wreck his days
Make him love her
And she'll fly away
See-line woman
Take it on out now
Empty his pockets
And she wreck his days
And she make him love her
Then she sure fly away
She got a black dress on
For a thousand dollars
She wail and she moan...
See-Line Woman was written by George Bass & Nina Simone.
