He Made a Woman Out of Me |
| I was born on a levee |
| A little bit south of Montgom’ry |
| Mama worked in the big house |
| And Daddy he worked for the county |
| I never had no learnin' |
| Until I turned 16 |
| When Joe Henry come up the river, y’all |
| Lord, made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) |
| Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yeah) |
| I used to tease Joe Henry |
| I guess it served me right |
| Wasn’t long 'til he left me |
| Cryin' out in the night |
| Joe Henry had his say |
| He went and set me free |
| I need tell everybody |
| That the man made a woman outta me |
| Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yeah) |
| When I think back to that day so long ago |
| I-I-I get a little feelin' on my mind |
| Although it hurt me there’s one thing I know |
| When he left, he left him a woman behind (Behind) |
| When I meet another young man |
| Wantin' to love and run (Yeah) |
| My mind goes back to Joe Henry James |
| And the heck of a job he done (Uh-huh) |
| Ain’t no other man let me down |
| You see I’ve been set free |
| Ever since way back yonder |
| When Joe made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) |
| Lord, he made a woman outta me (He made a woman) |
| Made a woman outta me (Yeah) |
| Joe made a woman outta me (Uh-huh-huh) |
| Lord, he made a woman outta me (Yes, he did) |
| Joe made a woman outta me (He made a woman) |
| Lord, he made a woman outta me |
