I'm A Woman

When I was a young girl, 'bout twelve years old
 I couldn't do nothing to save my doggone soul
 My mama told me the day I was born
 She says "Sing the blues child, sing it from now on"
 I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
 I'm a woman, I can change old to new
 I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire
 I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
 Well, I'm goin' down yonder, behind the sun
 Gonna do somethin' for you, ain't never been done
 Gonna hold back the lightnin', with the palm of my hand
 Shake hands with the devil, make him crawl in the sand
 I'm a woman, I can sing the blues
 I'm a woman, I can change old to new
 I'm a woman, when I'm down to the wire
 I'm a woman, I'm a ball of fire
